BHUTTO ASSASSINATED… Hey, are those Chanel?
No one knows democracy like a consumer. NO ONE.
Benazir Bhutto was the first woman elected to lead a muslim state… but fuck it, right? because she was a socialist (Wiki). No, thats not completely true. Bhutto derives her much deserved attention because she was a symbol of capatalism, I mean, democracy in the Middle East- and that’s important i’m told because these people don’t need someone elses policy drafting skills, in fact, they want to do it all by themselves.
Bhutto was an opposition leader who was twice removed from office for alleged corruption charges. She then exiled herself in Dubai and London and was re-allowed back into Pakistan on October 18th of this year (by the way, did I mention that there is fantastic shopping in Dubai and London).
On October 27th 2007, an Al Queda official took responsibility for her assassination- shooting her in the neck and the chest, stating that he was “trying to avoid any possible situation that might interefere with the Chanel glasses.”
A closer examination shows that these glasses do in fact bear the Chanel logo, however this has not been confirmed by any spokesman on behalf of Bhutto. But please note that “…women were seen to beat their heads and chests in grief” (According to AP article cited below).
According to the Associated Press: Bhutto Burried as Violence Spreads by Ashraf Kahn “Furious supporters are protesting her funeral”. Not for nothing, but no matter how many people chant, whatever slogan, the bottom line is that …she’s DEAD! Although her glasses have survived her. Sotheby’s has not commented when and if they will auction off her precious speks.
Please Note: Similar Framed Chanel glasses retail for about $1,000.00 (US). The average household income in Pakistan is approximately $2 (US) per day, which equates to about rs 60- and note that Pakistani money has a higher purchase power. (http://in.news.yahoo.com/070918/43/6kvxc.html)
