BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) - Hundreds of poor
Argentines have turned to selling their hair to a wig
factory to survive a huge economic crisis, taking
advantage of a plunging currency that priced imports
out of the market.

Anyone remember Les Miserables? That's the story in which the unwed 
mother, Fatima??? sells first her hair and then her teeth in order to 
pay for her child's keep.

Here we go again! Isn't Neo-liberalism wonderful?
