I read Anita Roddick's book once, and it was great, but watching what happened to the Body Shop always made me feel like she let it fall into the hands of the exact same people that it was set up in defiance of. Remember when you could refill your product bottles?
L'Oreal own it now.
But sheesh, sudden headache, brain haemorrage. Dead.
poor lady.
Same thing happened to my aunty... kinda.
Headache --> Doctor --> Scans --> Massive Tumours --> Surgery --> Massive haemmorage in theatre --> Dead (all within about 48-72 hours).....
Scary!
Ya know......the fact that she would sell it to L'Oreal causes me to dismiss her good intentions. I intend to cure AIDS, but if I don't follow through or go against my original intentions....meh.
Sorry, I just don't get how some people making a profit are evil and others are great cos of their link to nature. Its all just profit. Do we all love Bill Gates cos he gives away so much money? No cos we know he still keeps fuckloads. If Bono dies they can have a self-rightous party in the afterlife together.
(This completely ill-informed statement has been bought to your by Scotto)

pffffft. bill gates?!?! i would spit into the eye of anyone who openly admitted having even a shred of liking, let alone love for bill gates.
I agree, when Body Shop got sold to L'Oreal, I felt the same, Scotto.
But maybe there was a clause in the sale agreement(?)
She's not great (although was a bit of a business wizz and one of the first business people to supposedly care about poor communities and fair trade stuff) she's just dead.
I am one of the anti-Bill advocates. However he is a philapnthropist, to some extent. Probably to deal with his conscience of being one of the most scrupulous and unethical business men to have walked this earth.

your empathy astounds me tailz. hehe
But she is dead.
Just because she did stuff makes her better known - I didn't know her personally, though, so she's just a dead random as far as I am concerned.
Hard as a Rock, Adey (although I do cry watching Australian Story)....
*disclaimer*
In reality, I am probably the most empathetic person I know - so there!!!
;D
she's just a dead random.
hahahaa.
your choice of words is whats making it funny.
I always thought it was empathic. no matter though. yeah selling you against animal testing shops to one of biggest putters of concentrated face-lift ointment in rabbit's eyes is fucking shit, ah well, karma hey? hehehehehe
bill gates can go fuck himself, but he has a couple of not quite redeeming features.
btw thanks for the doctored xp mr b - suck it Bill, this version of windows is not official.
i love bill gates
just cos yall are haters
and cos he keeps dropping 100 dollar bills and doesnt have time to pick em up

i don't really care for bill. he has given a lot of money to benefit aids organisations in africa though, which, I hope really gets up the cia's nose.
I just had a scary vision of being stuck in the afterlife with bill gates, bono and this faux-hippie lady.
it's steve ballmer you've got you worry about
yeah look at him, he's casting out his "hardware specific" net over the world.
