New Zealand Not For Sale
FyberOptic:
Those wacky Australians are at it again.
New Zealand is not for sale, despite somebody in neighboring Australia trying to offload the nation of 4 million to the highest online bidder.
With a starting offer of just one cent, brisk bidding for the prime chunk of South Pacific real estate quickly boosted the price to 3,000 Australian dollars (US$2,330) before eBay pulled the plug on the auction this week.
Apparently the rivalry between the two countries is similar to the US/Canada thing, with Australia being the "noisy neighbor", and New Zealand supposedly full of nice but dull people. I'd look more into the source of such rivarly, but I care as little about theirs as I do our own!
Unfortunately I can't seem to find the auction; prolly got totally pulled. But you can read the original story at least.
Buzzard:
This is the best prank ever. Someone should do this for Canada and Mexico.
Mage:
No one will try to auction off Mexico. It's only worth about $5.
FyberOptic:
America should just buy Mexico and put an end to this immigration thing the easy way.
Mage:
Probably too much paperwork involved. You know how it is with government.
