"It's a colour thing"

John Travolta, the actor, has personally flown his private jet into Haiti carrying medical supplies, food and clothing for victims of the disaster there. Here he is here in front of his plane. He cares and I guess it shows.


Sadly, along with the urgently needed supplies came a team of, utterly useless, Scientology ministers wearing yellow t-shirts. These were immediately set loose about the streets of Port Au Prince in search of locals whose nervous systems had been disconnected by the earthquakes. Using a process called "assist" they simply applied, what they call, "touch" to reconnect a victim's nervous system back onto their body. This process has no medical benefit for any other type of injury such as severed limbs, cracked pelvis or bashed-up brains.

One nutter, a Silvie, told news agency AFP that they had been well received by both doctors and patients alike adding,

"But some doctors don't like the yellow T-shirts. It's a colour thing."

You might say to that it's easy for me to sit here, eating meatballs and drinking red wine, to criticize. You're right. It's very, very easy indeed. A child could do it.
