The equivalent here in the US of A is “I’m from the Obama Administration and I’m here to help.”

Good luck Nillson’s. They do realize that they have just become the winter solstice feast for the village?

I know it’s satire.

Sounds like the beginning of an episode of “Locked Up Abroad” I recently saw.

The last line is a killer:

For their part, Carlita’s parents are considering moving to the other side of the neighborhood and hoping the Nillsons won’t find them.

This is my fav: “I’m not sure what ‘Save the date’ means,” says Fabiola in Spanish, still puzzling over the perfumed invitation card.

LOL!

Dementia. Full blown f'ing dementia this country suffers from collectively.

Wow, what superior human beings! I hope those Honduran savages realize all they have sacrificed to bring them to enlightenment!

Having said that, I think they have their priorities out of order. Buying it all up and starting an HOA is fine, but first these folks need is to bring true, life-saving changes to their safety and security.

And I think we can all agree, that begins with declaring the settlement a Nuclear Free Zone.

Oh my god-—this is satire? How bad is it that it never even crossed my mind that it was not real? I KNOW people who would do this. And they’d brag about it like they are really culturally sophisticated.

Shouldn’t a good satire have something in it, somewhere, that’s just so over-the-top it can’t possibly be true?

lol. Great satire, and not much of a stretch. A friend of mine who works for an ngo in Haiti says getting “Orphan” status for one’s children is something of a cottage industry for people at the top of the hierarchy. Many of the so called “orphans” are actually children of politicians, doctors, and lawyers who have discovered it is an excellent way to supplement their income.

>> I KNOW people who would do this.

I bet they look like the couple in the picture.

Really, in a sane world this should be pretty way over the top.

Except we are so over the bend, it's entirely plausible.

Not that I can see ... seriously ... re-read the thing with that annoying, slightly lispy, pseudo-british “NPR Accent”.

In a sane world, it would be the plot for a ridiculous slapstick comedy film.
