As a kid, I was taught that, if you did something wrong and got caught, you did not dare do it again.

This fella obviously did not have similar parenting !

Given he's in prison in Cambodia it doesn't really apply does it.

On topic, many older Australians well remember the iconic Solo TV ad and probably used to sing along with the music. However, virtually no one knew the character's name.

 

Not so much the case now, such is infamy!

He started overdosing on solo soda, way to young, which, as a gateway drug, has led to this.

Does, as more of his ilk will also be encouraged to leave and go to Cambodia or elsewhere.

I feel sorry for this man, I can't believe how desperate your addiction must be to lead you down this path without seeking rehabilitation from the thing that is killing you.
