Hungry Hungry Hippo's Found To Be The Faulty Element Within The E.U.

"We knew it was risky going in" said T. Burglar of the European Union, continuing with a statement that definitely showed a bias toward the U.S.; "We all knew it was kind of a shaky idea..... it sounds really good on paper... but when you actually try and get several representatives from really old nations to settle everything in a game of Hungry Hungry Hippo's, things just go awry.... as soon as someone looks like they are winning, the first thing somebody else wants to do is steal all of their marbles... then they want to break the game because they couldn't make their hippo eat as fast.... it really boils down to basing things on a consumer economy... you know? Sure, it's Hungry Hungry Hippo's... and that is civilized enough... but it is still about who can make their hippo eat more, faster. Definitely an American influence, there."


As reported today in various Market publications, it has been established that Hungry Hungry Hippo's just does not suffice in the eyes of many other emerging economies for the purpose of establishing subsidies and tariffs. Brazil and India particularly called the process of Hungry Hungry Hippo's inadequate and proposed that perhaps it should be a larger game board... or maybe even another board game entirely.... something like "mouse trap" for instance... "Something a bit more involved" their representative was reported as saying.


It has also been reported that "time is running out" for these emerging economies to respond to the latest proposals from the U.S. (which won the last round of Hungry Hungry Hippo's) to cut global farming subsidies. The E.U. countered with an offer to make Hungry Hungry Hippo's more accessible to everyone instead of just a few large corporate interests... thinking that accessibility might counter the faulty effects of decision making in such a manner.


Brazil and India also scoffed at this prompting many to believe that they just don't like Hungry Hungry Hippo's and want to influence others to change the game entirely. Many suspect their preference to be along the lines of Tidlywinks.


Prince Charles reportedly stated that "The real problem is that their just aren't enough Hippo's on the game board... if their could be more Hippo's it would Rock!" He went on to elaborate "If we could get more Hippo's on the game board and make it so that the game board was secured firmly to the table... as right now in the passion of the play... the smaller standard Hungry Hungry Hippo's game board usually get's banged around and misplaced on the game table.... then it would truly become quite efficient! Gee Wizz the Italians don't mind it the way that it is... they think it adds a touch of life flavor to it having the unstable elements..... and really, the French don't matter that much just because we could get them to snivel about anything just about whenever we want."


When asked how he felt about the current situation more in depth, Prince Charles responded immediately with a very firm direction; "This is how I see it... if we have to come down to a play off from more than one successful Hungry Hungry Hippo participant.. then we should be ready to move directly into a rousing match of Barrel Of Monkeys followed with another tie breaking alternative being Ants In The Pants... perhaps even Tidlywinks.... but by no means should Tidlywinks be the initial decision making mechanism here.... it just is too inconsistent and dependent upon the human skill.... where Hungry Hungry Hippo's is mechanized... it has a built in equality that we see as important."


Many concerned with these new developments have suggested that perhaps all discrepancies following any tie breaking rounds should be settled with Old Maid. This is a particular favorite of many sects within the American/Italian areas, as well as one of the only things that Brazil seems to agree with.


Mexico is upset with Arial and Sienfeld for having lost the opportunity to include an option for Pinata's and a "Hat Dance Off" to be included in these international "talks." It seems they were becoming too overbearing for the other countries in their want to use the stuffed paper mache as the focal point.


Results, Scores and Developments will be posted as they arise.
