Roly poly comic ruins country's economy in one short trip

Hot on the heels of the news that lovable chunky comic James Corden has almost single-handedly caused the closure of his local bakery and Chinese takeaway in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, the fat star has now been blamed by senior African commentators for causing Zimbabwe's economic ruin.

Corden caused the closure of the Buckinghamshire local businesses by moving to London. But his Zimbabwe-based blame is due to his touching down in the capital Harare for a 48 hour charity trip to promote dyslexia in June 2008, when the star spent so much UK-earned dosh on donuts, chocs, crisps and snacks (and sweets) in his two day stay that he artificially inflated the entire country's economy; so much so that banks mistakenly believed all their nation's financial woes had ended, and started to offer loans and mortgages willy nilly, with disastrous results.



President Robert Mugabe felt very conflicted by the Corden affair; on the one hand he wanted to hold up the talented porker as yet another example of British interference, but on the other, he would have to first acknowledge that their was any problem.
