Did you watch the "Bananas!" documentary, and its documentary aftermath documentary "Big boys gone bananas!" ?
It's real good, and a good example of big corporations sometimes backing off, however unwillingly.
I'd just like a comforting confirmation that "big milk" (sorry) hasn't had anything to do with this article.

Chavez is starting to sound like the crazy dictator in Woody Allen's film "Bananas" (http://imdb.com/title/tt0066808/):
From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!
