...weeks ago yesterday, in Cancun, Mexico, a South Korean farmer turned protester named Lee Kyoung-Hae plunged a knife into his own heart and died shortly thereafter. Welcome to the fifth ministerial of the World Trade Organization (WTO), where Lee’s death provided a potent symbol of the deadly contradictions which plague our global economic order. Lee had come to Cancun to protest a trade regime which had subjected him and other small South Korean farmers to debilitating competition from rich-nation exports.

Equally eager to see The Real Cancun are the cast members, who took their roles not only for the free margaritas and $1,000 but also in hopes of snaring acting jobs. Twin Roxanne looks forward to being famous, even if it's for her wet-T-shirt antics. "I'd rather be known for this instead of being smart or something," she says. "There's a million people...
