4 Kilo Anti-Hero or Scapegoat?

Can you imagine adding insult to injury? Schapelle Corby has been stuck in a Bali prison since 2004 for a crime that was framed.
Bali-based Australian designer Nicholas Morley created t-shirts that say in large bold letters (similar to the 80s style of "Frankie says 'Relax'") "Four Kilo Anti Hero." After reading numerous articles about the Schapelle Corby case one can not imagine anything else except that the young woman's boogie board bag was planted with marijuana.

Morley resents Schapelle and claims that she alone has ruined Bali's reputation so now he's decided to make a fashion that will further kick the girl down.

"Mr Morley said he was moved to make his fashion statement after seeing the devastating affect Corby's arrest and consequent publicity has had on Bali.

Also on the T-shirt in smaller print were the words 'Schapelle Corby is guilty and has cost Bali millions of dollars in lost revenue.'" source

Bobby 'Boris' Pickett Tribute: Thanks for "Monster Mash"

Robert George Pickett, better known as Bobby 'Boris' Pickett has died of leukemia at the age of 69. Bobby 'Boris' Pickett had grown up watching horror films in a theater managed by his father and was famous for his impressions of Boris Karloff. Pickett was a singer and wanna-be actor and the idea of "Monster Mash" was a stroke of genius.

"The recording session was supervised by the producer Gary Paxton, who also came up with the idea of calling Pickett "Boris" and the backing band the Crypt-Kickers. Pickett added the sound effects, blowing bubbles into a cup of water with a straw for the boiling cauldron and pulling chains up and down. Four major labels rejected the single, but Paxton was undeterred and decided to press a thousand copies on his own Garpax Records. California radio stations began to play "Monster Mash" and it rose to the top in only eight weeks."

The "Monster Mash" was one of Rhianna's favorite songs during her childhood and she still boogies to it.

Here are some good online articles and YouTube videos to remember Bobby 'Boris' Pickett by:

SHANGHAI Surprise (Food Export Woes)

It's not just a pet problem anymore:

"SHANGHAI, China — The list of Chinese food exports rejected at American ports reads like a chef's nightmare: pesticide-laden pea pods, drug-laced catfish, filthy plums and crawfish contaminated with salmonella.

Yet, it took a much more obscure item, contaminated wheat gluten, to focus U.S. public attention on a very real and frightening fact: China's chronic food safety woes are now an international concern." [1]

What happened to organic food growing?
Now everyone must deal with results from too many pesticides, chemicals, antibiotics and medicinals/medicines that should not be part of an animal food chain.

"With China increasingly intertwined in global trade, Chinese exporters are paying a price for unsafe practices. Excessive antibiotic or pesticide residues have caused bans in Europe and Japan on Chinese shrimp, honey and other products. Hong Kong blocked imports of turbot last year after inspectors found traces of malachite green, a possibly cancer-causing chemical used to treat fungal infections, in some fish.

One source of the problem is China's fractured farming sector, comprised of small landholdings which make regulation difficult, experts said."[source]
