Pakistan's Schmatta Industry: Whips, Chains and Body Bags

Gawd! Doncha just love the entrepenurial spirit? The New York Times glowingly reports on the whip, chain and bondage accessory industry in Pakistan. The good news is that the tools are multi purpose-they can be used for fetish, or for Sharia enforcement by the Taliban. It's a "mom and pop" business, according to the Grey Lady. "Despite their growing business, the Times notes that the office surroundings are quite primitive: The shoddy factory seems like an ode to their humble upbringing. Adnan’s executive bathroom has no toilet paper. Rizwan has no office. And their preferred lunch is Kentucky Fried Chicken." MEMO TO SELF: Do not share Kentucky Fried Chicken with Adnan in Pakistan.
