The Axis of Stevil, troubled by recent events has partnered with Dari Airlines for their national 'Buff Out Terrorism' campaign. These organizations are trying to promote a sensible alterative to terror. The upstart Dari Airline has operated for several years as a notorious private air-firm, catering to rock heroes and Euro jet setters. The owner, Quantos Steveton, has agreed to share his luxurious planes with the world, in a strong effort to lessen the fear and inconvenience of modern air travel. The following excerpt from the Companies travel brochure

"When it has reached the point that an nPalm mp3 player can detonate multi-liquid explosives at the play of a song, you should tell yourself to remember the good olde days of Die Hard 3, and embrace the fearless spirit of 1995.

At the end of the day, it's feel good music that will save your soul. On a bad night BWB will play one of the most solid live shows you'll witness. On a good night, they'll complete you as a human being (other species are welcome, too).
