Slavery is an acceptable economic option for the WTO

Woops, my bad.

This is satire.

But not by much!

Thanks to everyone that caught it!

Kelly,

I'm not a big WTO fan either, but this site is NOT the WTO's site; it's a very bad (possibly even seriously libelous) parody. The REAL WTO site's news page looks like this.

Did you notice the site's name is "gatt.org"? The WTO hasn't been known as GATT for many years.

While slavery probably is an acceptable economic option for the WTO, I hope you realize that the article itself is satire.

"I'm afraid this is satire/hoax. Read the other stuff on the gatt.org pages. They are more subtle than this. Through credit there is a global serfdom already at their disposal. Emphasis on "dispose".

"Also, here is their whois information:

"Whois 24.205.197.41
" gatt.org = [ 64.115.210.59 ]"

I truncated the rest of their information, because it was a little too revealing. And it was a good joke, even if it revealed how carelessly gullible I can be.

But thanks, anonymous, Avedon, and Jay, again for setting me straight!
