The Japanese economy's not looking great either
Here's
a recent announcement.
"Following
the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and
the run on Northern Rock in the
UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan.
In the last 7 days
Origami Bank
has folded,
Sumo Bank
has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut
some of its branches.
Yesterday it was announced that
Karaoke Bank
was up for sale and is likely go for a song, while today
shares in
Kamikaze Bank
were suspended after they nose-dived. While
Samurai Bank
is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks,
Ninja Bank
is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the
black. Furthermore, 500 staff at
Karate Bank
got the chop and analysts report that there is something
fishy going on at
Sushi Bank
where it is feared staff may get a raw deal."
