Human Trafficker Global Horizons Website ‘ABOUT US’ Section is the most insanely and unintentionally ironic (and sickly funny) description of a Business or Product I’ve seen since...

In case you’re not familiar with the case, here's the official press release from the FBI (http://honolulu.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel10/hn090210.htm) describing what the owner of Global Horizons Manpower Inc., and 5 other defendants did to their victims(not funny):
"WASHINGTON—The Justice Department announced that a federal grand jury in Honolulu indicted Mordechai Orian, an Israeli national; Pranee Tubchumpol, Shane Germann, and Sam Wongsesanit, of Global Horizons Manpower Inc., located in Los Angeles; and Thai labor recruiters Ratawan Chunharutai and Podjanee Sinchai for engaging in a conspiracy to commit forced labor and document servitude. The charges arise from the defendants’ alleged scheme to coerce the labor and services of approximately 400 Thai nationals brought by the defendants to the United States from Thailand from May 2004 through September 2005 to work on farms across the country under the U.S. federal agricultural guest worker program. Orian, Tubchumpol, and Chunharutai are also charged with three substantive counts of compelling the labor of three Thai guest workers.
The defendants arranged for the Thai workers to pay high recruitment fees, which were financed by debts secured with the workers' family property and homes. Significant portions of these fees went to the defendants themselves. After arrival in the United States, the defendants confiscated the Thai nationals' passports and failed to honor the employment contracts.
"The defendants maintained the Thai nationals' labor by threatening to send them back to Thailand, knowing they would face serious economic harms created by the debts. The indictment also alleges that the defendants confined a group of Thai guest workers at Maui Pineapple Farm and demanded an additional fee of $3,750 to keep their jobs with Global Horizons. Those workers who refused to pay the additional fee were sent back home to Thailand with unpaid debts, subjecting them to the high risk of losing their family homes and land."
And here is the "About Us" section that appears on their website, footnoted by yours truly for the irony challenged (A link for the website's "About Us" section is here gmpusa.com - minus my footnotes below)
Who We Are
When Global Horizons, Inc. began sixteen years ago, it was the first company to establish a new and improved (1) labor-recruiting (2), labor-providing (3) business model (4) to meet the temporary and permanent needs (5) of employers worldwide. The company is continuing (6) to set a powerful new standard in Twenty-First Century (7) recruiting. An emerging industry leader, it is successfully turning local, regional and national workforce challenges into significant opportunities (8).
The Global Horizons story began in 1989, in the midst of a massive worker shortage in a foreign country. Born out of necessity (9) and acting boldly (10), the newly-formed organization brought thousands of qualified workers (11) into a strategic nation (12), averting impending economic disaster (13) for that country. Today, Global continues to build on the experience and wisdom gained during that time (14)of humble beginnings.
