Say "Howdy-doo!!" to Barbados' very own --------> L.A. Lewis

LOL that's all I can say to this one.

Sooo, During my stint in Jamaica i had the opportunity (nay, privilege) of laying my eyes on the absolutely worst graffiti I have ever known (you can view it here). While everyone in Jamaica knows of L.A. Lewis, no one there actually knows who he is, and so I dismissed him as just some urban legend. Later, we all found out that he was, in fact, a real person when jamaican reggae star 'Beenie man' apparently "thumped" him down at a public event.

As it turns out, L.A. Lewis is actually a Jamaican deportee who fancies himself to be a bit of a superstar *snigger*. Señor Lewis' marketing campaign consists of spraying his name on various landmarks far and wide across Jamaica that acknowledge how 'Great' his "fanbase" thinks he really is. (N.B. qoutation marks).

In somewhat of a similar event, and reported by our very own nation newspaper, our very own local version has also taken it upon himself to market his name on any open wall or floor within a 5-mile radius of Bridgetown, other uncanny similarities are the fact that señor 'off-da-brink' (Brink for short) thinks of himself as greater than Michael Jackson himself, also happens to be a deportee, and was inspired by none other than Tupac Shakur.

I suppose it's just a matter of time before we see pictures of him popping up with celebrities such as the queen, and Sean Combs.

more to come as this story unfolds.........
