Whatever happened to Elian the Cuban kid?

[Alex]

well?

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

He went back to Cuba to live with his dad where he belongs in the first place. Hopefully his dad will find some way to make it to the U.S. for a better life for the two of them.

who cares?

It was all bullsh&t media sensationalism anyway.

 

[Murphyrulez]

No, he got signed to play himself in a multi-milion dollar deal with some Hollywood studio.

Must be nice.

[b0mbrman]

WTF? He got an award? Geez...

 

[b0mbrman]

Yeah, saw it on the news...looked pretty silly. Elian had no idea what was going on...looked like he wanted to take a dump as the guy was handing him the award

I don?t and have never loved little Alian, or the Cuban people. I don?t even know them.

He went up for auction on eBay.

 

[kgraeme]

He put out an album which did okay. Then he did the talk show circuit for a while, but pretty soon the calls stopped coming in. In an attempt to revitalize his image, he put out a book to tell the untold secrets of what was really in the closet, but it was met with lukewarm response. The book stores cancelled his signing tour after no one showed up other than his mother. Last I heard he was playing at Bar Mitsvas and car dealership special events.

For being a rallying cry for people to hate USA

 

[Alex]

[silverpig]

CNN wasn't getting the ratings covering his story anymore, so they sent him back to cuba...

[im2smrt4u]

He's secretly being held inside camp X-Ray!!! :Q

What's that!? Black helecopters!!! Oh no!!! AHHHHhhhh.....(runs away!)

 

[b0mbrman]

Yeah...Don't you understand though? He's a hero!

 

[toshiba3020]

You try to illegally enter a country and you get an award. You smoke a little pot and your tossed in jail for 3 years. Remind me again why he wanted to come to the us?

 

[pulse8]

There is so much ignorance in this thread, I don't know where to begin.

 

[littlezipp]

They shipped him back and Castro said he would make sure he was fine.

I really expected someone here to rip into me about this little joke.

Decide for yourself here....
