It's like Jeff and Gloria Bardwell's takeover plot
of Jabot Cosmetics. Jeff said today nobody will
figure out "in a million years" that it was they who
secretly bought a majority of Jabot stock. If they
exist, those employed by Jabot to keep watch of such
things have better things to do. Like Jabot's
corporate lawyer, they may be too busy trying to
reopen the Enron case to notice large chunks of
Jabot stock being eaten like a fat girl eats Oreo's
by the bag.
Get enough misinformed people screaming about things
that do not matter and soon the Bardwell's will
control Jabot. With a twist of Jana Hawkes' Ouija
board, Jack Abbott may return to the helm at which
time what went around will have come back around
same as it always does with Jill Abbott squawking
that she was duped while she was duping her own
mother.
And those facts sure seem irrefutable. All signs
point to the glaring fact that even if we sucked
every available drop of skunk oil from Jabot, Beauty
of Nature, Rash & Sassy and pimply Glow by Jabot
kids it would have no effect on the overall demand
for more corporate power plays for no valid reason
other than the usual: power, cash, distortion, a
brand of outmoded gluttony that shames Genoa City's
spiritual core.
It's silly to ask, but why is there this need for
Jabot at all? Why can't Jeff and Gloria and Jack
build their own Jabot? Call it John Dear.
Isn't that what it's all about? Remembering the dead
John Abbott who has, in his many returns from the
dead, never once said he gives a shit what happens
to Jabot.
Try as we
might to insert a tad of logic and common sense and
humanity into a bloody, violent history consisting
solely of power and greed and deeply ingrained
deceit is foolish. Sprinkle all the fairy dust we
want, the devil just laughs and keeps right on
slapping our collective intelligence.
Need one final bit of truth? Haul the bitch in. It's
Lily Winters! Cane Ashby bought a house just for
her? He wants her to move in before they're married
and daddy Neil Winters might object to his daughter
living in sin? Mr. Family Values is old-fashioned
and didn't bat an eye when Cane knocked Lily up but
will freak if she shacks up? The same Neil who
pleaded with Karen Taylor to live in sin with him
has grown some morality?
Not having a problem with getting Lily pregnant,
Cane is suddenly on his knees before Neil asking
that he bless his popping the will you marry me
question to Lily. To show that he's worthy, Cane
blinds Neil with a Crackerjack ring, Neil says go
for it, and that this time he hopes Lily will say
yes? Why is this time any different than last?
Because claiming to be pregnant with his baby Chloe
Mitchell must find a way to prevent Cane from asking
Lily to marry him.
So. Here we go again. Spineless little creeps, Lily
and/or Cane will agonize. How can they possibly get
married when another woman is carrying Cane's kid?
Demand a paternity test! Surely you jest. PT's mean
nothing. To this day Nick hasn't been asked to
produce the PT he ran off with without showing it to
anyone and for all Jack knows Summer Newman is his
child, not Nick's. But why would Jack care when he
has little interest in son Kyle? Why would Paul
Williams care when he hasn't seen Ricky Carl in
years? Why did Lily need Chloe's here's how you
become a model help, but suddenly she doesn't? What
happened to Adam Wilson's all-natural line of
cosmetics and Hope Adam's Kansas farm? So many
questions, so little time.
