Amy Winehouse Spurs Collapse of Third World

In a bold statement, the United Nations blamed celebrity cocaine users of glamorizing global drug trade. Specifically Amy Winehouse.

Rock stars, like Amy Winehouse become popular by singing, ‘I ain’t going to rehab,’ even though she badly needed and eventually sought treatment. (Antonio Maria Costa – U.N. Drug and Crime Office)

You heard it here first, folks. Amy Winehouse is the first artist to sing about and do drugs. Somehow Kurt Cobain and Ozzy Osbourne defied scrutiny. And if these accusations weren’t enough, Costa further explained:

…that it threatened the “complete collapse” of some impoverished West African nations, where certain governments were now vulnerable to the damaging influence of drug money.

I’m a college educated, clear-headed logistician. I know you solve problems by defining root causes.

1. Amy Winehouse buys cocaine from drug dealer.

2. Drug dealer buys large quantities from drug distributor.

3. Drug distributor buys mass quantities from drug smuggler.

4. Drug smuggler buys from supplier in Third World country.

5. Third World country and importing country fail to stop this transaction.

If Third World countries are damaged by drug money, they can start by policing themselves. Stop drug trafficking. Amy Winehouse is an individual with an addiction. To hold her responsible is assinine. As an organization which exists to police the world, I would say it’s your job.

Besides, I would hardly accuse Amy Winehouse of glamorizing the use of drugs. Do you find this glamorous?

  1. I just cried my eyes out for two hours after realizing that, with my purchase of her album, I contributed to the complete collapse and demise of third world countries.
