WEEK IN REVIEW (tidbits you probably missed)

1. In the Prime Minister's speech in the whole process of the Budget Debate, he spoke about legalizing Casinos and Gambling Lounges. He also stated that poor people would not be allowed to gamble. How would this be regulated, seriously? Would one have to carry their last three pay slips to the bar to verify if they are over the poverty line? Think about it.... 2. 'Fart Gas' (as The Star called it) was sold to a group of primary school students by a vendor outside of the school. This vendor told them that they should buy it and let it go in their classrooms if they did not like their teacher. The students followed her instructions and dozens of them ended up in the hospital and 2 were critically injured. The 'fart gas' has instructions on it written in Spanish that stated that it should not be sold to children under 7 and should not be opened in enclosed areas.

In 2008 there has been a great increase in such emails, and now they are loaded with sexual content. There has been the Norman Manley high school video, the 'BEACH' pictures, the lesbian pictures, the UTECH girl pictures, the Lisa Hanna look-a-like pictures, and more recently the Kingston Technical High School video.
