FMH
You may not know this<br />but in Bangladesh alot of people are starving,<br />and when they get close to death they secrete a hormone called FMH.<br />It's called Fat Mobilisation Hormone,<br />and it lifts the fat out of the bone marrow.<br />It's the last act before death of starvation.<br />Now, there's a little team of doctors,<br />about 30 of them,<br />mostly American some Australian,<br />running around collecting their urine,<br />if you're close enough to death,<br />and out of the urine they get FMH.<br />They bring it back to America and Australia<br />and they inject it into fat ladies<br />to make them a bit thinner,<br />and they make alot of money doing it.<br />Now, I have a better idea and we can set this up:<br />We have a trip to Bangladesh for overweight ladies,<br />and we'll get quite low prices,<br />and of course we don't feed them,<br />and we fly them to Bangladesh,<br />and we tip them all out,<br />and we load up twice as many really thin ladies,<br />and so we fly all them back to Australia and America.<br />Now, when they've fattened up half way but are not yet obese,<br />the fat ones are down to where they're not starving but they're no longer obese,<br />and we fly them all home again.<br />And I think that's better than having to kill someone just to get the hormone.<br />Don't you think?<br />Isn't it nice to think people harvest from misery?<br />It's actually disgusting.<br /><br />Voice by Bill Mollison<br />Recorded at Melbourne University Permaculture Design Course 2005.<br /><br />Background film by Mike Whittaker<br />from 'An Unfashionable Tragedy' by John Ingram and John Pilger.<br /><br />Lionhead Movies graphics software.<br />Modifications by Sebastian Fraas<br /><br />Music by h0-x.<br /><br />Sounds from freesound<br /><br />Machine6 by Vitriolic<br />Cinematic Deep Bass Rumble and Discordant Voices by erh.<br />Dronetail 03 by jovica.<br />Airline Approach and Airline Ascends by heigh-hoo.<br />Passenger Jet Departs by digifishmusic.<br /><br />Many thanks for their generosity and creativity!
