Down in Miami: The Political Blues

Don't MESS wit ma dreads, crobar! Charles Reid,a crobar regular, couldn't get into the SoBe nightclub one night last week and blanketed the media with a professional-sounding e-mail fashioned as a press release. It alleged that the club was prejudiced against blacks wearing dreadlocks. "Idiotic," said Robin Ross, who does independent PR for crobar. "The guy wasn't dressed properly and got into a fight with one of our door girls." He lost and, feeling humiliated, took his revenge. "Crobar is filled with dreadlocks!" Ross huffed indignantly. "This is like a generic complaint!"
