Attack Of The Show: 420 Jamaica
I think i forgot to mention this show, it was a 2hr special that recently broadcast on G4 channel in the USA, it was a show to celebrate so called '420' which from what i understand is a name used in the USA for Ganaja/Weed/Marijuana, aparently the name 420 originates from some group of hippy smokers who used to meet everyday at 4:20pm to hang aout and smoke! and the whole thing caught on and spread all round the USA, this is what the video explained i watched recently on G4's website.
I never got to watch the show so can;t really say much more about it, althought i did see them filming at the bob marley museum, hope rd. in February which is why i was so keen to see the show. Maybe it will turn up online sometime......
Bruce Golding - BBC Hardtalk
Watching this program was horrible! for those of you in the UK, you can watch the full show in high quality on the BBC Website via the iplayer, if your outside the UK then you might want to check the videos below:
Watching this made me cringe, i felt that the interviewer was unfair and was just trying to make Bruce Golding look bad. Make up your own minds......
This interview has provoked a big debate in Jamaica and is being talked about all over the world, this is because of what Bruce Golding said about not wanting homosexuals in his cabinet.
ReplyDeleteHuman rights campaigners in Jamaica have been quick to criticize Bruce Golding's views and there have been several talk shows aired on Jamaican TV to discuss the interview and subject of Homosexuality in Jamaica.
