One needs some sustenance to sustain one's hunger strike.

Geebus, even Homer Simpson lasted longer on his hunger strike.

In Nelson Mandela's autobiography he said it was very easy to tell who was cheating on a hunger strike and who wasn't. Non-cheaters didn't have any bowel movements after a few days.
If the prisoner doesn't sh** you must acquit!

Do these people have no shame?

I'm new here, so I'm hoping that your sense of humor really is this wry, and I'm therefore just putting my foot in my mouth when I say that the "visual evidence" photo is obviously doctored... funny, but doctored. I don't mean to say that the allegations aren't true (I understand there's a hidden video camera involved) but as a person who works with image editing software as a matter of course, the other photo is a joke, not real. I apologize for not being sure that you MEANT it as a joke...
BTW - really enjoy the blog.
