I do love a good manifesto, and I do love a good cause, and it seems we have both here with this recently posted video of an alarmingly chiseled and disgruntled Tahitian railing against the upcoming Billabong Pro down there, namely for reasons of not including more Tahitian wildcards in the event (he wants 16, not 1).  I am not really in a position to comment on the validity of his claims (although it seems ridiculous the number of wildcards that surf Pipemasters in comparison with Teahupoo, although a lot of that has to do with the relatively few surfers concerned with requalification by the time of Pipe).  The ASP and Billabong are accused of "bending over" Tahitians, being "money hungry pig idiots," and "little dweebs."  Food for thought, i suppose, and as a bonus, he calls the WQS "bullcrap"!
