This is not a repeat from 1760. (new window)

In Pakistan, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...

now would be a great time to confiscate the heroin crop in afghanistan, and dump it into pakistan.

oh yeah...we gots yer sugar riiiiiight here baby!

Disco Stu got hooked on the white stuff back in the seventies.

\The sugar baron is pleased

The sugar industry: full of good ideas!

Time to set up an artificial insulin factory in Karachi, so it seems.

/anyone hear about the break-in at the Karachi national library?
//They stole the book.
///Indian joke.

Thread over.

I think we're done here.

I hope they are all keistering their personal stash.

Well, sugar is easier to control than salt. And less critical.

Well they need to capture several military installations controlled by Coloniel Sanders.

I think I'm putting this at fourth dumbest thing I've ever heard. I read comments on Fark, so that's gotta take up first through third.

We think of sugar as just junk food. In some countries it is a major necessary source of energy in peoples otherwise very energy-poor diets, and a huge economic force.
It isn't like they are rioting 'cause they won't get twinkies. It is actually a pretty big deal.

I looked away for one minute and this Englishman got in here and stole my line.

A major influencing factor in the February 1917 revolution in Russia was the banning of vodka, so I could totally see this having a bit of traction. The Economist this week has a piece on it, but I haven't gotten around to reading it.

Collusion among influential figures? In Pakistan? Against the national good? naaaah.

The sugar industry can DIAF.

But they sell sugar at the grocery store for fifty cents a pound and it doesn't have broken glass in it.

Meh, you don't need sugar when you have steamed limes for dessert.

/Wanted for Questioning
//Dumb show...

I'm about to take down the government over high fructose corn syrup being used instead of cane sugar.

WHO'S WITH ME??

Why don't those dumb asses just grow corn and subsidize it like we do?

It works way better than that silly 'sugar' stuff.

They forced us to work in their sugar mines...

Cast off our insect overlords!!

And I'd do it again

1. Import Stevia/Splenda.
2. Profit!

Came for Simpsons references to forgot about how Pakistan is a borderline failed state with nuclear weapons and Taliban insurgents.

Done in 2.

LOL, WUT... DA HELL IS THAT?

Sooo....part of Obama's Afghanistan strategy is to overthrow Pakistan while they're sugar jonesing and use it as a base?

Clever, that.

Barack plays the long game.

Wish we'd riot against our sugar monopoly.

"Without sugar, my children will be crying when I get home."

Tell the little bastards to go eat something nutritious.

anyone else notice the article said "rancid annals of Pakistan's politics"?

I think rancid annals describes it well...

Joe Kennedy scoffs, 'Amateurs".

Torhathel: "Without sugar, my children will be crying when I get home."

They don't eat the nutritionally stripped white granule crap we do.

Raw cane juice provides one of the primary freaking sources of the carbs in their pretty weak diets. Also potassium and calcium among other things.
Don't eat it = get sick &/or die. You'd be crying too.

I got this image in my head of these two big bullies beating down a muslim kid on a playground. The bullies have a star of david and a us flag on their t-shirts. Then kid on the ground is wearing an "i ran" t-shirt. Then the two bullies turn around as this little girl in a cute dress holds up a gun and blows the two bullies away.

The caption reads, "Oops, we got the wrong guy!"

It is assumed that the little girl is Pakistan.

Islam, coups and nukes don't mix very well.

sugar = death?

carver

death sugar...om nom nom.
