Ewww Kobe Bryant or Kim Kardashian.... I don´t think having either as spokes persons for anything is a good idea. In fact having either one associated with one´s image would be detrimental, not beneficial.........so they cancel each other out anyway.

The report of the two-year inquiry, which cites FBI and other intelligence sources, has been obtained by the Guardian. It names Thaçi as having over the last decade exerted "violent control" over the heroin trade. Figures from Thaçi´s inner circle are also accused of taking captives across the border into Albania after the war, where a number of Serbs are said to have been murdered for their kidneys, which were sold on the black market.

Legal proceedings began in a Pristina district court today into a case of alleged organ trafficking discovered by police in 2008. That case – in which organs are said to have been taken from impoverished victims at a clinic known as Medicus – is said by the report to be linked to Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) organ harvesting in 2000. It comes at a crucial period for Kosovo, which on Sunday held its first elections since declaring independence from Serbia in 2008. Thaçi claimed victory in the election and has been seeking to form a coalition with opposition parties.

So this is why they needed to rob Serbia off their territory and declare an independent country. How clever...

Very very sad and disgusting....I have come to the conclusion that human greed and depravity knows no borders and crosses all cultural lines.   Unfortunately, some will use this to condemn others who are innocent, because they share an ethnicity.

There are good people everyplace, and there are bad people everyplace. I look at the actions of people, particularly how they treat those who are in less powerful positions.

Anyway, using Kobe in ads should be effective. So much that the Armenians do not like the idea.

This is what I´m trying to explain all the time. But seems only one nation is condemned at the Balkans...

was kim kardashian around when the armenians were killed? NO

then she should keep her mouth shut 

 Ahhh, Canim,  I hear you.

I think the best test of character is to grant great power to people, then see what they do with it.
