April Roll Call

[brasi]

Jamaican Tourism Marketing, or Witch Doctoring?

Toronto, CANADA-Reports from Canada, some northern U.S. States, and locations across the globe have people selling off their worldly possessions in order to take impromtu trips to Jamaica, an undoubtedly gorgeous Carribbean island...but at what cost?

Beachgirl66, a Toronto native, was seen recently returning beer bottles in nearby Buffalo NY. She's the latest "victim" of an obscure thread on a Jamaican-based website...a thread purportedly controlled by an Obeah-like woman loosely known as "marley9808."

"Marley told me I was EXPECTED to be in Negril," said 66, knee deep in Molson Light bottles.

Beachgirl has taken an unprecedented 97 trips to Negril over the past four months. She has lost her car, her home, and recently traded her parakeet for 25 cents to a homless man for food.

"I love the vibe," she said, as she gave blood at her local blood bank.

Brasi, a New York native, neglected paying his fuel oil bill this winter due to "marley9808's" influence, he said.

"I figure'd we didn't need furniture, really," he added. "it's just gets in the way. So I used it for firewood. Marley9808 said I HAD to be in Negril..."

Both travelers next visit Negril in late April...along with a mess of other COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL MOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFOS!!!!!!
