Default What is the true definition of globalization?

An English princess
with an Egyptian boyfriend
crashes in a French Tunnel.
driving a german car with a Dutch engine,
driven by a Belgian
who was drunk on Scottish whiskey (Check the bottle before you change the spelling)
followed closely by Italian Paparazzi
on Japenese motorcycles,
treated by an American doctor
using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by an American,
using Bill Gates' technology
and you're reading this on your computer
that uses Taiwanese chips
and a Korean monitor,
assembled by Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapore plant,
transported by Indian lorry drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexicans.
Now that's globalization!

Are you sure George??

Having an "e" in the spelling of Whisky would usually denote it as being of Irish origin, not Scottish ....
