The fact is that there is a big gap between our perfect little Lemon Hart/ Grog Log/ 1934 Zombie world and the real world out there. Bacardi IS the biggest, richest rum producer in the world. They are getting in on the Tiki world now, with not so different tactics than they applied to take over the rum consumer market in the recent decades. Example: The wonderful Mahiki in London now pours Bacardi exclusively, and has gotten rid of most of their rum selection (this is hear-say) They simply make you an offer so good you can't refuse. They can afford it.

The Bum voted for another Mai Tai recipe, as he stated in his Tiki Magazine article. But that's all one can do. I have not heard of anything shady going on (but of course such things are never mentioned in public). You can only take these events seriously to a certain degree, and then let it go. I mean, just look at all those ridiculous food channel cooking competition shows....
