Shenanigans

Get 'em!
Two of Japan's largest auto suppliers with operations in Michigan, Yazaki and Denso, pleaded guilty to price-fixing on electronic auto supplies and will pay $548 million in fines. Four Japanese executives from Yazaki also pleaded guilty and will serve between 15 months and two years in U.S. prisons.
I believe those Japanese auto executives were responsible for the recession that is ruining the lives of people all over the world. Well done, US justice authorities!

I hope this doesn't set an international precedent.

Many moons ago, before Japan outsourced the hottest economy with the most kick-ass products the world had yet seen; an executive at Fuji airlines resigned because a Fuji jet crashed into Mt. Fuji. That's what we NEED--- leaders who take responsibility and take one for the team.

If it takes Fuji jets crashing into Mt. Fuj--- wait. Nevermind.

ALRIGHT! I read their frickin' privacy policy. Google is going to do us the grand favor of narrowing our searches to make a sale more likely or why I will only use the Google search engine for shopping. Just try to find a study you read five years ago on Google.

Bastards.

Yes. I'm not sure why they want everything to be worse, but they sure do.

You afraid they'll nab you for sending some overpriced Pooter's Porter to the States?

Hey, gotta shear the sheep somehow!

If everything gets better, people get complacent (can't be bothered to explain why)
