what's in a name

That Corby woman, in jail in Bali for drug smuggling. Loads of stuff in the news and on tele about the case. Sensational, exclusive! tat; typical news. A former friend is now grassing Schapelle (excuse the pun) so sister Mercedes is leaping to her defence. Each of them speaking to a different TV channel. There is lots of other stuff about a Corby family history of drug production and use that I know little about and care about even less. I've not been following the case closely. In fact I've not been following it at all. I've made my mind up. She is guilty. Why? Because her name is Schapelle. That alone hasn't condemned her; the clincher is her sister's name; Mercedes. I know I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, that I'm being arrogant and this reflects badly upon me yadda yadda yadda. But come on; Schapelle and Mercedes! What kind of names are they? She is guilty of reminding me of Romford and therefore guilty of anything else she is accused of. I blame the parents. Next case please...
