Gary Glitter had fled to Vietnam after being jailed in the UK for possession of child pornography. This, Gramsci held, was due to his not having hadAdvocate Barbie to conduct his defence. "Presumably," the Cow suggested, "he thought that the Americans had messed up the country so badly that the Vietnamese' 70s traumas were related more to napalm than to tight sparkly clothes and platform shoes, and so would be more accepting of him than most."
Gramsci, shuffling along singing "I love you love me love", shrugged. "Still," he said, "it does show that crime doesn't pay. Sartorial crimes against humanity may not rank up there with child abuse, but either way, a spell in jail is certainly warranted."
