Remember how, not so long ago, American companies were discouraged from 
doing business with South Africa, and politically correct folks boycotted 
any company that did sell to South Africa, due to the repressive 
government's human rights situation?

Well, tonight on the news, I saw that Benetton, the company whose duds 
all the politically correct clotheshorses go for, is new establishing 
stores in Cuba. I think they said there were eight locations.

Once this becomes known, I wonder if their employees will dare to show up 
at their Miami stores? Especially those in Cuban neighborhoods!

Considering that Castro's human rights record is at least as bad as South 
Africa's was (not that it is now any better under Mandela, whose 
government massacres tribesmen with impunity), I think there should be a 
boycott of Benetton by all freedom-loving Americans.

Yes, BOYCOTT BENETTON! By their presence in Cuba, they are using your 
money (profits from your purchase of their overpriced merchandise in the 
US) to support Fidel Castro and perpetuate his human rights abuses!

If you want a good sweater, go to Wal-Mart. They sell as much 
American-made merchandise as they can! And it's probably cheaper, too!

On the news, they also said that Benetton's office is is a building 
Castro seized from Bacardi. But they're not worried about Castro seizing 
their property. Of course not! If you've seen ANY Benetton advertising, 
you'll remember that their political slant is somewhere far to the 
left of Teddy Kennedy. (Please note that ANY political message AT ALL is 
very unusual in ads for consumer goods!)

Boycott Benetton!
