I hope to god that's not sarcasm... It was? Oh... umm... heh... No, I don't know how this frilly pink dress got here. *runs off!*

What do they need death squads for? I thought Colombians liked hellish working conditions.

I liked Caca-Cola's response: "We have nothing to do with those death squads, or those factories, or the manufacture and sale of soft drinks."

BTW, so far this story has managed to escape the notice of our American Free Press, Envy of the World (tm). That is always the way they handle US relations with Colombia (among others). I was following this not too long ago, until it began to drive me insane with rage. For example, the EU Parliament passed a resolution condemning our policy of poisoning Colombian crops in the name of the drug war. Weeks later, the only mention the resolution received in a slew of major newspaper stories on Plan Colombia was a 17th paragraph sentence saying that "Colombian farmers and European Diplomats" were "critical" of the policy.

Our allies' legislature condemns our policy = some farmers and diplomats are critical of it.

There are too many examples of this kind of thing, in this one policy area, from that one time alone, to even recall. So I won't be surprised if the US press scrupulously avoids reporting this or at least downplays it. "The Steelworkers are suing Coke for hiring death squads" = "Some unionists are critical of Coke's labor practices."

Now back to our regular scheduled donkey diddling.

As a citizen of the land of the free I am grateful that I have access to press from other countries so I can find out what my own government is up to.

That's why we need the government to police the internet.

No, wait, I mean it's to save kids from pornography.

COCA COLA SUES USWA

Coca-Cola Corp. has filed suit against the United Steelworkers of America for illegally using the Coca-Cola trademark in lawsuits and press releases. "See, right here in this legal document, drafted by their own counsel, it says 'Coca-Cola,'" said lawyer Joseph Corporatecocksuckingsycophant. "This is a defamatory infringement on our trademark and corporate image."

In a cease-and-desist letter to the USWA, Coca-Cola promised to grant permission to use their name in these documents if:

* The word "Colombia" were changed to "America's Backyard"

* The word "workers" were changed to "Partners in Prosperity"

* The term "death squads" were changed to "Happy Fun Patrol."

Coke's lawyers also allege that the infingement confuses consumers. "We keep getting calls from outfits like GE and Nike asking if we have any death squads, er, Happy Fun Patrols available."

A Coca-Cola spokesman in Bogota says that the Happy Fun Patrols are largely funded through their sister product, Coca-Coca.
