The Great Aluminum Conspiracy!!
Forget about the 9/11 conspiracy! Here's a REAL conspiracy bandwagon to jump on!
In response to an article,
"Jacob's Creek Goes Fully Screwcap" at decanter.com, aluminum biochem expert
Chris Exley of Keele University suggested an
"aluminum conspiracy".In his online response, Exley wrote,
"It
is no surprise that one of Australia's largest producers of wine is
converting to aluminium screw caps. Within the developed world
Australia is one of the last great strongholds of the International
Aluminium Industry, an industry with immense lobbying power both within
the Australian government and within the Australian wine writers
fraternity.""Congratulations
once again to the aluminium industry. They will succeed in bringing yet
another product to market which has not undergone any independent
assessment of its potential danger to human health. Drinking any
beverage from any container which uses aluminium in its packaging will
result in some of that aluminium contaminating the product and hence
contaminating the brain of the consumer. Drinking wine which is stored
under aluminium screw caps will put aluminium into your brain. . ."Meanwhile, in another part of the internetosphere, responding to a post on, of all things,
"John Travolta Sues His Own Airport", a reader posted,
"Well, fortunately and thanks to lots of diligent netsters and sim pilots, the (aluminum conspiracy) backlash is coming. For example the Alcoa/Reynolds Aluminum factory next to Troutdale Airport has been destroyed. FIGHT THE POWER! Great
conspiracy stuff. It just smacks of the truth, doesn't it? Definitely
something Rosie O'Donnell, Janeane Garafolo, and Portland Indymedia can
sink their teeth into.
