Kevin posted, .... 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?
