Dear Glenmorangie destillery, from a former customer - how about i make you go bust? (the Luis Vuitton-scandal)
This is about Nadia Pleisner and her struggle to ease poverty and starvation in Darfur.
She made a t-shirt with a motive of a starving child holding a chihuahua and a luxuary-handbag.
The t-shirt sold in plenty and she could therefore use the money to send off supplies to the starving population of Darfur.
But.
Luis Vuitton thought that the handbag looked like one of theirs.
So they sued her, and won.
So she made a painting instead, claiming artistic freedom.
And they sued her again, and won because in the Dutch court you can sue and win without the counterpart even having the knowledge about it's even been i court.
This is madness.
So what can i do?
The one thing i can do, write about it.
Through Henrik Alexandersson i found out that the Luis Vuitton HM owns quite a few brands and one in particular is one i use, i wrote them this letter.
Hello, my name is Niklas Starow, resident of Lund - Sweden.
I have been a whiskey-connoisseur for at least 15 years now and in my favourites is your 18yo and the port wood finish.
But i am also a human rights activist, writing columns and blogging at Scaber Nestor (www.scabernestor.blogg.se) and The new Swedish civil rights movement (www.dnmr.blogg.se) aswell as my political involvement in the Swedish Liberal Democratic Party. (www.liberaldemokraterna.com)
And since your owner Luis Vuitton HM has sued and managed to win that lawsuit against Nadia Pleisner, who fights against powerty and starvation in the Darfur-region, i have no other choice then to stop buying and drinking your brand until that unjust lawsuit has been laid down.
Yours truly.
Niklas Starow

If Scott Walker (R-Gov Wisconsin) could, he would do a "Khadaffi" on his citizens.
From SR (swe), Chicago Mag and Huffington Post i read about the North-Central US answer to Libya's Colonel Khadaffi, Scott Walker (republican Governor of Wisconsin).
Is this joker for real?
He tries to do budget-cuts that arn't necessary while spitting the union organizations in the face and has issued arrest-orders on the political opposition?
It's my opinion that this Governor is out of his fucking mind.
Yes, it's not really well handled by the democrats skipping off to Illonois, but the actions Goc Walker is issuing is way out of proportion.
Hopefully this will reflect on the next elections.
Unless Gov Walker psycotic break takes on a whole new level and he does a "khadaffi" on his citizens.
I actually think he's capable of it....
