Life Imitates Art

Today CNN has a story about water shortages in Bogotá with rationing threatened and reservoirs at record low levels. The blame is being placed on El Niño causing a drought.

Reading this I thought "how ironic." I immediately wondered if anybody had checked to see if Dominic Green was somewhere, somehow involved.

I scanned the rest of the article, about a quite serious problem, but could find no references to the Quantum of Solace Bond film, where monopolizing water sources in a dry land was the mcguffin. Instead it made reference to The Simpsons animated TV series. 

When a water shortage in Bolivia reminds people of a TV show instead of an iconic Bond film, you know Hollywood and the movies are in a world of hurt.
