Blog /Help Terrorists and Go to Jail... Unless You're a Corporation

March 15, 2007 17:49 +0000  |  Corporations Terrorism 5

The Chiquita banana company admitted to doing business with a Colombian terrorist organisation on Wednesday and agreed to pay a $25 million US fine.

Read the article for more detail, but the truth is clear: regular people, if accused of terrorism are put in jail or deported to Syria where they're tortured. But if you're a corporation giving money to known terrorists, you can just pay a fine.

Regular people don't bring me bananas. Corporations bring me bananas.

So financing terrorism is ok so long as that corporation is importing goods? Where do we draw the line?

(With apologies to the Chiquita Banana jingle writer - sung to the tune of the Chiquita Banana jingle)

I'm Chiquita Banana, and I'm here to say,
I sponsor terrorism in a special way,
Our terrorists are dark but have a golden hue,
They are armed with guns, which ain't the best for you.

They will put you in a coffin,
They will put you in the grau-ound,
And with their new yellow rocket launchers,
You know Chiquita is their sponsor.

Our good terrorists like the climate of the Equator,
..and the bad ones wind up in the refrigerator.

Thank you, and goodnight.
