BOGOTA, Colombia - After a two-year search among more than 300,000 candidates nationwide, Colombia on Thursday unveiled the new Juan Valdez, the country's iconic coffee ambassador to the world. His real name is Carlos Castaneda. Interesting news... but what I'm suprised was NOT mentioned is how famous this guy already is! At least among the New Age and Shamanism crowds! -Ghoti _____________________

Why the hell is it news? It's because people will click the link and look at the advertisements.

Yeah I was a little shocked when I saw the name. I wonder if that's why he got picked.
