The link to the lyrics of Big Black's "Colombian Necktie" was incorrect. It's now linked to another site displaying the lyrics. Radiodog 03:37, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article notability

Do we really need this article? I think it lacks notability and is trivial. Camilo Sanchez (talk) 08:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pablo Escobar

This gentleman did not "invent" this method of murder. The authors may want to consider rephrasing this to indicate that he was famous for using this tactic and is associated with it's aforementioned name "Colombian Necktie". While that phrase may originate from Mr. Escobar's use of this procedure, he certainly did not first perform this act.

[edit] "reputed"

Is it really necessary to refer to Escobar as a "reputed" drug kingpin? I would think this has been established beyond any reasonable doubt.

Agreed. I took it out. His wikipedia page is all about how he definitely WAS a drug kingpin. FilmFemme 17:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why quote the Megadeth song?

Apparently several bands have whole songs about the Colombian Necktie, so why quote a verse from Megadeth rather than any of the others? The verse doesn't seem especially notable, just standard metal lyrics. (In fact, I dare say nothing Megadeth does in 2007 or beyond is ever gonna be considered "notable", snort, chortle, but that's neither here nor there!)

Aside from whether or not to quote, there's also the question of how. That whole grey-box/typewriter-font thing is ugly as fuck, IMO, and I mean for ANY purpose. That thing should just be banished from Wikipedia. --63.25.104.56 21:15, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
