In the 1973 kung-fu cult classic Enter The Dragon, Chinese-American martial artist Bruce Lee infiltrates the lair of an evil crime boss in order to take him down. Hollywood studios should take note of a potential blockbuster screenplay developing in gated communities throughout Florida: the invasion of nefarious sheets of sulfuric Chinese drywall. Call it Enter The Townhouse. The story surfaced in late 2008 and was originally thought to be confined to communities in Southwest Florida; however, the Palm Beach Post confirms an East Coast invasion in Palm Beach County and along the Treasure Coast. "The Florida Department of Health has documented 119 complaints about Chinese-made drywall in Florida. Of those, 17 were in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, including five homes on a single street in Stuart. Preliminary studies have not concluded that the drywall creates immediate health concerns. Homeowners, however, have blamed it for allergy-like symptoms, including headaches, dry eyes, tightness in the chest and bloody noses." Chinese drywall is dishing out bloody noses? Bruce Lee would be proud. To be sure, there will be a sequel to this blockbuster...tentatively titled Enter The Lawsuits.
