Weak US Dollar Means Nintendo Favors Europe For Now
timeOday writes "The LA Times is reporting that the new Nintendo Wii Fit is hard to find on US shelves, due not only to strong demand but also the United States' declining status in the world economy: '"[Nintendo] is also is shrewdly maximizing its profit by sending four times as many units to Europe, reaping the benefits of the strong euro," says Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities. "The shortage demonstrates one consequence of the weak dollar. We're seeing companies ignore their largest market simply because they can make a greater profit elsewhere."'"
Weak U.S. Dollar Means Everyone Favors Europe Now
Thanks to the world's largest crime syndicate.

It will all end on Jan 20, 2009, when our new shiny young eloquent energetic (black, not that it matters) president will turn water into wine. Scratch that. "make environment for others to turn water into wine".

shut your whining faggot mouth you fucking dick smoking euro. i hope they raise the vat tax on your faggot asses.
i'm glad to see you're getting fucked by your own government. fucking cock lover.
What's with the allegiance to the US?
I'd rather the US fail and something positive come out of it than the US continuing to fuck up international relations and the beauty of our planet.
Oh please, quit it with the Iraq bullshit.
Vietnam war was twice as violent, was twice as costly, and you were doing this when a REAL threat to the nation existed (good old CCCP that had nukes and wasn't afraid to use them, not to mention they had a really powerful army sitting right next door to western europe... You know, the same jerks who insult the US every other day).
You kids these days. And Vietnam was so much more pointless. In Iraq there was a dictator who was a threat to neighbouring regions (and invaded its neighbours constantly), who testing chemical and biological weapons on his own people, who violated so many UN human rights charters... And it help fight the slow death of small, often ignored countries like Lebanon. If it wasn't for the occupation of Iraq I doubt Syria would have backed out of there; then what would you do when an entire culture was extenguished before your eyes, Europe?
In vietnam communists wanted to control the country. That's why it was invaded, occupied for oh about 20 years, and firebombed/poisoned/raped/sulfurbombed back to the stone age...
Of course, typical Americans; cleaning up after europe shits all over the place. Abolishing slavery, abolishing monarchies, reinstating civil rights and real courts, cleaning up the mess left in the Middle-East by the English (I'd love to applaud the people who drew those maps up, geniuses amongst men they must have been to mix kurds, sunnis, and shias), and defending Europe as much as they could from facists, from communists.
Yeah, really getting derailed here...
Anyway, shouldn't a weaker USD bring more industries? If I was BMW I'd love to settle back in Detroit; little competition from GM/Ford, tons of skilled workers, all at a time when the USD is looking very attractive in comparaison to the Euro.
THIRD WORLD PEOPLE = THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.
The Jews' plan is going swimmingly: replace the 'evil' white majority of America with hundreds of millions of useless third world savages, completely destroy the middle class, force people from all over the planet to live together, so they have nothing in common except the shite they see on Talmudvision, and then the Jews never have to worry again about the whites standing up to them, and driving them out of OUR countries...
And this article just proves it. America's economy is collapsing, because of Jewish power...
someone modding you down doesn't prove you right, it proves that you're just another asshat in a long line of asshats. probably a dick sucking faggot too.
