:05:05
Yeah, this is it. Yeah.
:05:09
I'll maybe bring him his mail, actually,
as long as we're at it here.
:05:14
- Yeah-I don't like it.
- Okay.
:05:15
It looks too much like sex stuff
instead of-it's not very modern-looking.
:05:20
Remember, this is the future.
This isn't about, like, straps and stuff.
:05:23
That's like dungeons and torture
in the past.
:05:26
The costume
is a manager's leisure suit.
:05:29
And the idea is that Hank Hardy Unruh,
:05:32
the representative
from the World Trade Organization,
:05:34
is going to go and wear
this breakaway business suit
:05:38
that's gonna be pulled off of him
:05:40
during the middle
of the keynote address to the conference.
:05:42
And then a big inflatable phallus
is going to emerge from this golden suit,
:05:46
and on the end of it is a TV screen
:05:48
that he uses
to manage sweatshops remotely.
:05:52
The reason we got invited
to these things
:05:55
is we have a website
called gatt.org.
:05:57
The gatt.org website looks a lot
like the WTO website,
:06:00
but it is critical of the WTO.
:06:04
Most people, though,
who find gatt.org
:06:06
by searching
for the World Trade Organization...
:06:09
will go without reading it
and will send us e-mail directly.
:06:13
So a lot of people ask us
weird questions about tariffs and trade,
:06:16
and we try to answer
as accurately as we can.
:06:19
And occasionally invitations come in
:06:21
from official
or quasi-official organizations
:06:24
asking for opinions
or asking us to attend a conference.
:06:28
And so, when they ask, they really think
they're talking to the WTO,
:06:31
and we respond by giving them
what we think they want...
:06:35
which is the opinions of the WTO...
:06:38
as accurately
as we can represent them.
:06:40
You know what I'm thinking,
actually, looking at this...
:06:43
is that maybe this is a zipper.
:06:45
Yeah! Yeah, yeah.
:06:47
Then he just unzips it
and pulls the thing at the same time.
:06:49
- That could be really good.
- Because...
:06:51
to have it burst out of the Velcro,
it might not be strong enough to burst out,
:06:55
and then he'd have to pull it.
:06:57
Part of the thing
that gives us the courage
:06:59
to go to Tampere...
with this really absurd suit
