From The Wank Files

When it comes to the lowdown money grab, there are few lows 'business' types won't go to. Just when I think I see it all, a fresh bit of wank reaches across cyberspace to smack my screen. Some genus decided it would be a wonderful idea to have a four star luxury resort slash slavery memorial in the port of Badagry, Nigeria. Singing this tune with the developers is one of pop superstar Michael Jackson's brothers, Marlon Jackson. The folks in Nigeria are not pleased. Should the biz-folk have their way, we will soon have a bizarre combination of a slave history theme park and a museum dedicated to double Grammy-winning pop-soul group the Jackson Five. Just what will bring African American tourists back to their roots...um...yea."The African-American history trail is worth billions of dollars," Um, to many people slavery is still a healing wound, not a tourism opportunity. An educational facility people could accept, this I don't think has a snowball's chance inside Kilauea's Volcano. Sorry Marlon.
