Food company head commits suicide over dumplings - S. Korea
AP , SEOUL
Tuesday, Jun 15, 2004,Page 5

The head of a food company jumped to his death after a government investigation found that his company sold dumplings made with rotten ingredients, a police official said yesterday.

Police have yet to find the body of the man -- identified in media reports only by his family name, Shin -- the head of Vision Food, a dumpling company based in South Jeolla Province. But officers found his identification card and a recently written will, and a witness saw a man matching his description jumping from a bridge in Seoul's Han River on Sunday, a police official said on customary condition of anonymity.

Last week, South Korea's Food and Drug Administration announced that at least 12 companies had been using rotten radishes in their frozen dumplings from last year until February this year, and ordered the dumplings pulled off the shelves.

Mr. Shin had so much honor he killed himself over poisoning people. Rumsfeld has murdered 50 thousands people in a lie, what's Rumsfeld going to do to bring honor back to our country?

1. I certainly hope Rumsfeld does not commit suicide....
Suicide offers relief from despair. Personally, I'd like to keep Rummy alive in prison for another decade or two so he can stew in his bitterness and pain.

3. I hope to see 'Kenny Boy' next..
...filled w/angst over the evil malfeasance perpetrated (and RECORDED from) his evil minions.

He will leave a suicide note expressing his deep remorse over the fraudulent California 'Energy Crisis'

He will dispose of himself via the garbage disposal (one limb at a time) - CAUSE HE'S THAT DAMN SORRY.

We here in California will mourn him by creating a memorial of burned out batteries and spoiled food.

4. "honor"... over rotten radishes
Yeah, I think a few of our CEO's and govt officials could take a lesson. We use rotten radiated food as a matter of course. Poor guy, he should have just come to the U.S. and sold his dumplings. Radiate 'em, bam, put 'em on the market. If that fails, feed 'em to the kiddies in a school lunch program.

Regardless, it is too bad he felt the need to do that, for him and his family.
