Who knows when freedom of speech and expression will be the norm and not the exception in the Cayman Islands. Until then, we'll have a bit of fun. This site will highlight current events in the Cayman Islands and will poke fun at everything and everyone. If you cannot deal with humour, cynicism, self-efficacy and self-degredation, please go away now.
As an American, I've listened for years to people in Cayman bad-mouth the US, US tourists, the US President, etc... When all along Cayman has had its own leader named "Bush" with roughly the same level of articulation and command of the English language - in spite of his sixth-grade education. And don't get me started on Blair or Castro... That is NOT what this site is about.
And just so we're clear, this site does NOT represent itself to be factually accurate on anything posted. Again I say - on this blog, the truth takes a holiday. However, if you are a public figure in the Cayman Islands, you are a fair target. You have put yourself in a position to be a target of criticism and satire: and I plan on taking a few shots.
I hope people will read and comment but be warned: If you plan on posting lies - you will be char-grilled. There is a very fine line between lies and satire; cross it on this site and you're toast.
Push the boundaries, be creative, let your juices flow... but do NOT use this site like the Wight brothers used the Net News site. This site is strictly for entertainment purposes only and - again - 99% of everything on this site is NOT TRUE, even though facts are used to segue into the humour.
If you have ideas on what you would like posted, please feel free to post them or email them to me. I understand that there are people who are scared to post - what's worse is that there are people who aren't funny and shouldn't post. I don't claim to be the funniest person alive, but I have just enough nerve to take a shot. Join me and lets have some fun. - Rufus
