Recently, World Guides was delighted to launch its guide to Kenya which included a section on the towns and cities of the country. On this page was mention of the Kenyan city of Kisumu an ordinary city if it wasn't for the fact that US President Barack Obama’s father was born here.
You can see where I'm going can't you... Yup for whatever reason, despite the stringent editing process that all our guides go through, the all important word father disappeared into the ether.
So to clarify matters for all those bloggers and conspiracy theorists out there searching for evidence that the US President is not legally entitled to his position - World Guides was making no claim to the President's birth place and has no confirmation of this information with any documentation or proof.
So this highly embarrassing ‘typo’ has now been corrected on our site, however, I'm sure if you really want you can find screen shots of the original posting all over the Internet.
As to whether this error was a publicity stunt to encourage Kenyan Tourism or to advertise the World Guides websites for free, well that's something I'll leave to the conspiracy theorists...
P.S. Piece of advise to the website claiming Obama’s birth place claims came from ‘Official Kenya World Guides’. World Guides are not official guides and have never advertised as such - thus you may wish to change your meta titles etc. After all one word can make all the difference - take it from people who know!
Typo would be:
‘s father
Interesting. Maybe they were just trying to drum up as much business as they could until they were called on the carpet?
This excuse doesn’t hold up to scrutiny since Barak Sr. wasn’t actually born in Kisumu. Evidently he was born in the Rachuonyo District instead.
