On Japan's stimulus package to restore Confidence-(incentive worth 5 Trillion Yen.) SK: Thanks, your suggestion seems valid as any. 'If we can't sell chips, sell dolls', (I wonder who made this 'comedian the spokesman for Intel-May be he is the resident clown, you like the 'court jester') at least the guy had a sense of humor which Wall Street pathetically lacks. SK: Here is a bit about the Japan stimulus package worth about over 1% of GDP. Hope this will restore some confidence in the world financial markets !!!! biz.yahoo.com

Yes, the last sentence of the press release on the "bunny suit" dolls was REALLY stupid ("If you can't sell chips sell dolls"). I think Intel has an internal "booby prize" award for stupid statments, which Andy and Craig won for the statements in the WSJ article that started the DEC lawsuit. Whoever made that statement should win the award for the current period. In all seriousness, however, it does seem unlikely that this had any REAL impact.
