Ooh la la! Lingerie relieving poverty in Colombia

[Say_What]

Oil-rich Colombia faces the most severe humanitarian crisis in the hemisphere due in large part because the US funds the military, which in turns trains and advises the paramilitaries who then massacre thousands and this is the kind of tripe that the US corporate press serves up to the asleep-at-the-switch 'muriKan public. Unf*ck'believable--only in America :puke:

BOGOTA, Colombia - At first they grew coffee. But after prices for the crop collapsed, many of the farmers in the steamy jungles of western Colombia turned to growing coca, the raw ingredient used in cocaine.

And now, hundreds of rural Colombians, hoping for a better living, are trying their hand at making racy lingerie for a French retail chain under a new U.N.-backed program.

The wispy G-strings, revealing bras and lacy garter belts went on sale Saturday at Carrefour's 11 stores in Colombia.

The undergarments will be sold at its overseas outlets in coming months.
