"HAMAMATSU, JAPAN—Despite concerns over the recent global recession, Yamaha Corporation president Mitsuru Umemura announced last week that he was content with the current level of production of Jet Skis, alto saxophones, snowmobiles, power generators, scooters, and golf carts. "Initially we thought that the declining global market would result in overproduction of synthesizers, PA systems, DVD players, tone generators, and motocross bikes, but in fact our production quotas were almost perfectly attuned to the market in power amplifiers, heart-rate monitors, signal processors, analog mixers, engine oil, microphones, HiFi systems, and grand pianos," said Umemura, who stressed that his company prides itself on attention to detail. "At the Yamaha Corporation we're focused on one thing and one thing alone—quality sound chips, ceiling brackets, editing software, race-kart engines, sport boats, flugelhorns, ATVs, sequencers, outboard motors, conference systems, golf clubs, projectors, MIDI controllers, lamp cartridges, portable recorders, subwoofers, component systems, and motorcycles." The Yamaha Corporation is based in Hamamatsu, Japan."

Ya know, this is just *so* plausible that it's really unfair to not make the byline more prominent. I read it several times through, each time with eyebrows raised a little higher than before.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually a case of character and company defamation.
ReplyDeleteI think the onion should reconsider before putting this kind of libel statement on a website and claiming it as a direct quote.
It's a joke.
ReplyDeleteThey do it all the time.
They're *very* funny.
I love The Onion. (...even when they lampoon people or institutions that I like.)
