Use of cocaine by celebrities is encouraging death and destruction worldwide. So says a UN official.
“One song, one picture, one quote that makes cocaine look cool can undo millions of dollars worth of anti-drug education and prevention,” read the text of a speech by the head of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Antonio Maria Costa.
“All these celebrity role models, turned into junkies, have in fact spent a lot of time in rehab lately, and their lives are a mess,” he said at a conference in Madrid.
In Colombia, cocaine has also provided hundreds of millions of dollars to fund Marxist rebels and far-right paramilitaries, claiming thousands of lives a year, mainly poor peasants
I will now blame Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan (Among others…)for this cocaine induced strife.

Who would have thought that?
Besides, I thought the UN was happy for the Marxists.
