---------------------------------------- TONIGHT! 23.12.1999: 23.55 ("10vor10") first tv report all over europe on 3sat repeated hourly on SFi 23.00 till 01.30 ---------------------------------------- german: http://www.woz.ch/wozhomepage/51_52/etoy51.html ----------------------------------------
ladies & gentlemen, etoy.SHAREHOLDERS! are you ready for the 20th century SHOWDOWN?
we are about to reboot the xmas crisis.OS:
all markets collapsed: stores and eSHOPS expect massive toy destruction due to the cultural war on the internet. customer care agents lose control. children are crying! parents quarrel. the tree is burning. confusion everywhere you look. media reports all over america. now even europe joined this war. but the worst is over, that's what eToys thinks... every dollar transfered to save bank accounts. all plastic toys delivered. its time to think about the final destruction of the little art bastard etoy. the story gets too big, it already appeared in financial times! everybody (except the judge) is on the wrong side! why?! does money not count anymore ?! this has to stop! but is it still stoppable anyway? what do the pr-experts suggest? TOY-NAM TRAP recognized? withdrawal? ----> NO!
the shares are down at $30.8125 (today 23.12.99 14:47). they still think it's not being connected to the mess they produced (they were at $67 when they shut etoy down). if investors go out and scan the net, they find loads of bad words about the child-loving giant. it's not only an issue for the nerds and the techies. sooner or later everyone could be in the way of such a bulldozer!
-a swiss television crew travelled to LA and wanted to know what eToys is doing to the etoy.ART-CORPORATION. reaction: NO COMMENT - "[they] have to concentrate on customer service. this does not affect the revenues". -neutral industry diplomats and former employees (who fear the crash of the shares they own) tried to negotiate and avoid total war. etoy agreed to an arrangement: if they would re-activate the etoy domain (for email), etoy would not operate www.etoy.com till the court decision - but eToys didn't listen. according to spies... (insiders talk about a leak in the eToys-board) they pretend the problem being NETWORK SOLUTIONS, Inc.'s business, and that eToys Inc not being in the position to sue (!) them.
maybe talking to NSI would help too! but that's not their language as we all know. they know only two ways of doing business: to send money over, or to sue!
what about talking ? we are serious art-businessmen !
but this was a clear statement: all diplomates cleared the fire line. we had to accept this.
the etoy.BOARD decided to transfer 64.000 etoy.SHARES (of totally 640.000 units) into the TOYWAR resistance project.
[[ the user is the judge - the shareholder is the artist ]]
this is a solution to generate massive web activities and to cover expenses for the court battle. *disclaimer
in other words, 10% of the etoy.CORPORATION will be transferred into the hands of the resistance community (users are included in the negotiation, get voting power, and participate in the case of a buy out of the art corporation etoy). the trading & market place of the etoy.TOYWAR-SHARES is the TOYWAR battlefield :
all actions and activities are 100% legal. etoy operates on the edge of reality to confuse the enemy and to prove that the internet is not just one single stupid shop.
await further instructions. prepare your credit cards or start to think about legal & playful information weapons... etoy returns shares and for our US friends special etoy.SCORES ...for work and cash that helps us to survive.
..............get richer than the richest! free speech on the net for art & business!
your etoy.BOTS - READY TO ENTER THE FUTURE. .................we wish you EXCITING xmas!
