BFP Print Edition STUNNING BLUNDER!!!!

The Barbados Free Press Print Edition (a poorly thought out act of desperation from a man whose internet blog has been reeling in recent times from unrelenting cyber-attacks of Barbados Free Press Exposed) has been dealt a catastrophic blow from which it will be very difficult to recover.

On 10th September 2007, BFP with its usual highly inflated fanfare, launched what it called the Barbados Free Press Print Edition, a pair of .jpg files which it encouraged readers to download from the BFP blog page, and then use their own paper, ink and time to print and secretly distribute as many copies of it as possible all over Barbados. It was another typical BFP scam and deception at work… BFP would simply prepare the layout and make it available online, while the donkey work (and expenses) (and risks) would be undertaken by anyone foolish enough to expose themselves to the public while BFP remained safe and hidden. The joint purpose of this ill-conceived effort was to present BFP as the champion of democracy and free media in Barbados, which is exactly the opposite of what BFP actually practices. We at Barbados Free Press Exposed have always predicted that this idiotic idea would be a big flop, and three days after its launch, despite the usual mouthings from BFP about how successful it has been, we are yet to see a single BFP flyer anywhere, especially in the city of Bridgetown. Neither have we seen any increase in the number of people visiting their blog. Simple common sense would tell anyone that BFP’s latest strategy was simply unworkable, though common sense has never been part of BFP practice. We happily prepared ourselves for the swift and natural demise of the BFP Print Edition, but what happened yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon, just two days after BFP’s Print Edition launch, has exceeded anything we could ever have imagined.

We received by email what appeared to be the two .jpg files which BFP has placed on their blog for download. We first scanned both files for viruses and tr0jans (the first set of files placed on the BFP blog for download on Monday were found to be infested with a backdoor tr0jan) and found the file to be clean. However, even we were shocked and stunned when we saw the contents of that flyer. By going the lazy route and neglecting the responsibility (and avoiding the cost) of producing and distributing their own material, BFP has fallen headlong into a pit of sharpened sticks, though we have no sympathy whatsoever for them. They cheaply, willingly and dangerously relinquished control of their production process and as a result they have tumbled headlong into the very trap of hatred and lies which they have been digging for so many other people. When printed, the flyer which we received looks EXACTLY like the original one launched by BFP on Monday. It carries their artwork, it carries their website and email information. But it contains content so vile and reprehensible, using altered mixed images of victims of a recent tragedy in Barbados and images of explicit child pornography, that there is certain to be a massive public outcry and backlash against the same BFP in whose name this flyer purports to be done. We at Barbados Free Press Exposed want to make it abundantly clear that we have nothing to do with this flyer. This new flyer, due to the nature of the content, has clearly become a matter in which the police would be involved. We have deleted the files from our computers and shredded the one print-out which we made from them. Regardless of who is creating those modified flyers (which could even be BFP themselves), we still maintain that BFP must take the full blame for their irresponsible actions. We also advise members of the public to think very carefully of the consequences of going out to distribute one set of flyers, and being caught and criminally charged for also distributing flyers showing this much more filthy smut.

BFP foolishly started this to get cheap publicity, but when those flyers hit the streets of Barbados they are going to get a lot more of it than they ever bargained for.
