Finally, a definition of globalization that I can understand and to which I now can relate:
Question:
What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer:
Princess Diana's untimely death.
Question:
How come?
Answer:
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 whisky, (check the bottle before you
change the spelling),
followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
and treated by an American doctor, using
Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by an American, using Bill Gates's technology,
and you're probably 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 Mexican illegals.... .

That, my friends, is Globalization
