Dear Foreigner,
Okay it’s probably time to come clean. In reality the problem you highlight is all a secret plot to frustrate you and hence make you less effective and unable to compete with us in the global economy. We were all told to do so through coded messages that are embedded into episodes of American Idol (I bet you thought all that stuff Paula Abdul said was just drunken babbling)
It’s all part of a far reaching plot by our government to subvert the rest of the world. Hence Google pulling out of China and the creation of Microsoft Windows (we secretly use a highly stable open solution and just use a keyboard shortcut to make it look like Windows when you walk into the room much like that fake looking spreadsheet that was embedded into the DOS version of Tetris)
Sorry for the inconvenience (though not really as pointed out above),
America
- cglee 17y agoHow does this reply add value? The blog post presents a problem that I (being an American) rarely even think about. I wanted to see how others deal with this issue. WTF is this reply doing?
- Semiapies 17y agoThis is what your downvote button is for.
- cglee 17y agoI did downvote, but at the time, the parent post had over 15 points and I wanted to know why.
- gn 17y agoThe idea that people other than Americans are real consumers with real money to spend is inherently funny; the idea that it might make good business sense to not put gratuitous hurdles between them and your checkout is practically hysterical. It's not like the US has an external trade deficit larger than the GDP of Taiwan or anything.
