Irony

What an irony - KSBC is opening hospitals specialising in treating alcohol-related problems. So you first market alcohol, get people drunk and then open hospitals to fix problems - now this will be the non-profit venture of this corporation.

Reminds me of a conversation with a friend. I was listening to a radio show where the host was interviewing a Pastor who is helping gangsters come out of their gangs and lead a better life. One service that he offers is tattoo removal. My friend commented "Interesting, first you open a tattoo business, attract gangsters and tattoo all over their body. Then start another business for tattoo removal". I felt bad when he said that because I really appreciated the efforts of this Pastor. When you look at the society as a whole, yes, it might look as though you create problems in one side and then fix it - all the while making money.
