Oh, the joy that is paper writing

So, doing research on the WTO and its effects on sustainable development, I found this image as part of a card game linked from the Corporate Watch website.

A Google search for "El Catrin" revealed that it is:

• The name of a CD and of a song (you can listen to part of the song, but I'd only recommend it if you have a strong stomach; I mean, even looking at the cover is pretty fricking hilarious)
• The name of a restaurant in the Dominican Republic(*sigh*)
• The name of a piece of art inspired by Hugh Heffner(yes, it features busty women in bunny outfits)
• The name of a brand of tequila(tequila of the month, I might add)

Uhm...ok. All the other cards seem to make sense in Spanish, but I have yet to figure out why this one says my name. In the meantime, I'll just be amused.

Oh, and I also found this fun fact: The International Forum on Gobalization has a member on its board of directors(which features such prominent personalities as Maude Barlow and Vandana Shiva) called Jerry Mander. I repeat, Jerry Mander.

What was your mom thinking?

I really didn't expect to be so amused while working on a paper.

Honestly though, keep'em coming.
