For You Who Sell to WallyWorld

Heh.

Sitting in a windowless conference room surrounded by the remote-control toy Ferraris and Mercedes he sells the world over, factory owner Kuma Gu summed up what it's like to manufacture products for American consumers these days.

"A lot of Chinese companies have a saying," he said between drags on a cigarette. "Do you want to kill yourself? Then do business with Wal-Mart."

Depending on timing, WallyWorld may not have even paid the invoice before you hang yourself.
