Daniel Pardo of BBC Mundo went on a shopping spree to see how many household goods he could find while waiting on the notoriously long lines in Venezuela. On the first day he was able to obtain a grand total of only three items out of a shopping list of eight but promised he would return the next day to see if he could get any of the rest. Well, as far as the world knows tomorrow never came. In fact, following the March 16 Spanish language broadcast of his first day shopping for the three items, it seems Daniel Pardo never returned. Neither to BBC nor anywhere else including his Twitter feed, @pardodaniel, where he mysteriously stopped tweeting on that same day, March 16, with his last tweet in Spanish about the difficult task of explaining shortages in Venezuela with a link to his video broadcast.
I sure hope he is not currently a guest at the Leopoldo Lopez wing of the Grand Chavista Hotel for exposing to the world in a video that went viral how absurdly bad the shortages in oil rich socialist Venezuela are. However, if Pardo does return, I hope he will understand if your humble correspondent hesitates to shake his hand since toilet paper was on his list of items which he still hasn't found. First let us look at Pardo's informative video about spending all day to find 3 items which would have taken all of about 5 minutes to purchase in a typical American supermarket.

Venezuela voted for socialism. Then, they started giving Castro money. Now, Venezuela doesn’t have enough money to buy toilet paper.
Hey! Venezuela! Wipe your asses with Castro’s beard!
