We Pride Ourselves On The Ability To Copy The Works Of Others

So, let me get this right, your technology is said to be made from plans stolen from another sovereign nation, your factories are famous for churning out CDs/DVDs of stolen intellectual property and now this?

Thank goodness, I can keep separate my views of the Chinese (mainly Han) people and the area of the world under communist control from which many of them (or their families) came or in which they reside.

But let's get down to serious business.

The Committee wants me to put aside the horse play (and it was a good one, called "The Mane Event," about a scrappy foal that turned into a strapping racer who, in the climactic scene in climatic weather (we no longer use "inclement" because it has negative connotations), would pull up short of the finish line to let an underprivileged jockey take an unknown horse to victory), and tell it like it is or it's going to be.

We'll see.

I don't like being told what to do.

It tends to make me push our global cultural movements in a comic direction for a while.

We close this broadcast with the famous bars from the William Tell Overture.

And now, a word from our sponsor.
