Shit-Spattered Dog Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Flashermac said:I suppose you have heard that Thaksin resigned and has agreed to pay taxes on his sales of 72 billion baht and other income! I just heard this on CNBC: Thaksin has sold Thailand to a Saudi Arabian Prince for an undisclosed sum of Baht. This Prince turned around and sold Thailand to Manchester United for a first rounder. The soccer club acknowledged to CNBC, last night, that it will rebrand the name of the counrty and change it from " Thailand " to " WankerLand. " The Club felt that this new name would more reflect the true nature of the country and promote a better, heathlier lifestyle for the players and it's fans. Thaksin has been offered a post within the club, althought, the Club did not elaborate when pressed for futher details. It's speculated that he will be trying to market a unique brand of "Thaksin only" bottle of snake oil. An item the club has had in marketing for years. They now have the right man to market it. Thaksin was interviewed by Asia, CNBC, about the sale and his new role as a Manchester United employee. But he had no comment and would only smile to the reporters and cameras. No shit, this is what they said. I also heard that the bg's are giving a two for one deal........ SHit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
