Jamaica Observer cartoonist Clovis is at it again, with another controversial cartoon that targets the dancehall community. His latest below, was featured in today’s Chat magazine. It shows a murder scene outside “Dutty Mouth Recording Studio”, with a policeman and an area resident conversing about “criminal DJs”. Although it makes no specific reference to Vybz Kartel’s Portmore Empire, it is clear the reference is to this crew, as a road sign in the cartoon says “Kirk Avenue, Havendale”, which just happens to be the location of the Exodus recording studio that’s frequented by the Portmore Empire crew. Ironically, the murder which the cartoon presumably references, did not happen in the immediate vicinity of the recording studio, and is said to be unrelated to happenings there.




Adijah Palmer was ridiculed in an insensitive and tasteless cartoon by Clovis: a graphic bleached figure implying effeminate, gay rape in prison. All because of bleaching. If this had been a woman, human rights would have pounced on the issue. Sadly, male rape or rape in prison has little traction here. What's the problem with bleaching? Is it damaging to health as cigarettes, ganja, or liquor? How many are killed by men under the influence of bleaching? How many die of bleaching overdose? We spend millions each year to treat the effects of smoking and alcohol - emphysema, lung cancers, etc, rescuing families and DUI victims. Where is the media blitz to stop them? Cartoons ridiculing prominent smokers or alcoholics? We gorge on junk food, we inhale and ingest noxious substances - who cares? But bleaching gets us going. Why? The public health impact is not that of smoking and alcohol; "death by bleaching" is not here, yet it provokes venom that killer substances do not. Why?

Image
EVER wondered why people who say they are in love attach the term crazy to it? That’s probably because people in love usually do crazy things to maintain the emotional ties that exist between themselves and their significant others. Women are notorious for doing the stupidest things when it comes to securing a love connection and below we highlight some of the craziest things they do for the men in their lives. 1.Watch a match without having the slightest interest in the game: While there is nothing wrong in hanging out with your beau, some women will tell you that watching a three-hour Test match for his sake is like torture. 2. Empty their bank accounts: From getting him the flashiest car, to buying him the latest designs, some women have been extremely generous when it comes to bearing their men gifts.

MAN SHORTAGE AFFECTS CHURCHES IN JAMAICA - Christian women complain of lack of potential husbands

he shortage of men has become a growing problem in several Jamaican churches. The st ar understands that with some church population having as much as 80 per cent women, a large number of females have been left with a problem to find husbands.

Johnson, a pastor at one of the Testament branches, said at that location he had approximately 300 members of which only 40 were men. He further said that approximately 20 of those are already married.
