Last but not least: Je suis Aargauer
Don't rush, there's enough for everyone: out of five million printed copies of the new edition of Charlie Hebdo, 30 copies made it to the canton of Aargau.
This is reported by the Aargauer newspaper on Thursday. The day before around 635,000 inhabitants of the Canton of Hearts flock to the kiosks at Aarau, Baden and Lenzburg railroad stations, Coop City in Aarau and Coop Aarepark in Würenlingen at the crack of dawn to secure a piece of terror history. With a guaranteed increase in value. This is practical, because once you have read the memorable cult edition, you can sell it on your trusted auction platform at top prices. Together with all the clever people who, as a first reaction after the massacre, put their Charlie Hebdo edition on E-Bay and achieved absurdly high prices. In memory of the victims and their families, of course. A nice return in the name of freedom of the press, freedom of opinion and whatever else it was all about.
Everyone is Charlie now. Even heads of state who are otherwise rather relaxed about all these freedom issues.
However, Aargau residents who come away empty-handed on Friday can rest assured: According to AZ, new copies should arrive as early as Monday. Ten or twelve issues should be expected - after all, Aargau is the fourth largest canton. And for those who manage the feat of not getting hold of a copy despite the numerous opportunities: the issue is already available on Ebay for 100 dollars. And also on Ricardo.ch you have a realistic chance of getting your very own piece of freedom of expression from 100 francs. Freedom has always had its price.
