US Exporting Ogre Again

Finally, we have seized the day.  A major export triumph for the Fed's midgetized Dollar.  Americans can crow again about making what the world wants.

Only it is The Simpsons, The Hulk, the Terminator and Shrek.  No cars, tractors or vacuum cleaners involved.  Maybe the upside down world of Poseidon.

Upside down, indeed.

Universal Studios, the good part of the GE-Comcast-NBC-Leno deal, announced that it will build a really big theme park.  Covering the northern half of South Korea.

I guess North Korea lost out in the bidding, but Chairman Il is spec'ing a counter-theme park, DMZly Land, a scud's-throw away, based on its famously entertaining nuclear warhead technology.

The project, not built by Americans, will create 40,000 non-Americans jobs  But it is not just Koreans who will benefit: I believe the Universal personnel department will add 5000 high-paying, highly accented jobs.  In India.  Spider Man's knockoff outfits sold in the park will be fabricated in Vietnam of polyester/silk webs spun in China. 

Dudley Do-Right's ride will be built in Canada.  Nobody else knows what a Mounty is. But Dudley and Nell will be played by very attractive Koreans.  Don't worry, they will never marry.  Snidely Whiplash, at least, will be an American.  Horse will be part of an exquisite post-ride dinner.

The Cat in the Hat will complement Horse, but is a la carte.

The Revenge of The Mummy is being held in reserve until Koreans are taught what the hell a stiff-kneed, gauze-wrapped, dialog-free Mummy even is. (Hint: They are not Zombies, who are currently working relief in Haiti and Hollywood.  Ever see a Mummy do that?)

The US economy, once again the envy of the non-industrial world, will be boosted big time by Universal-Leno-Comcast executive bonuses, expected to be half a trillion wons.  Or losses.
