Well, I know I was kidnapped by aliens or, at least, dropped on my head at least once or twice! And there's a lot to be said for national paranoia. Everybody should join in immediately and be certain that the rest of the world is hell-bent on getting you. I'm convinced of it.  |

Well, some of the rest of the world is - we've had proof of that not so long ago! The mistake is to let that section of the rest of the world cross your threshhold - which we did! Drawbridges and Portcullises weren't such a bad idea in the main!

You know the old saying, just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean they're not out to get you...

I moved to Canada from Australia 4 years ago, and I had kind of forgotten how frustrating the isolationism can be now that I'm not nearly as affected by it. I remember once I tried to get some Burt's Bees lipbalm from the US site, and they told me that they didn't ship out of the US "for environmental reasons."

 Well, I can understand not shipping the bees! But the lipbalm? that really is ridiculous! |

Odd. Very, very odd. Unless they think that native bees would be threatened by an obviously superior product and go into an immediate decline?  |

Well, thinking their product must be superior is a form of Isolationism! |

Well, it's probably classified as an agricultural product, along with fruit and meat and whatnot, which can carry diseases and that most countries don't want being imported by random people. So it wouldn't be an environmental reason as much as a beaurocratic reason. Hmm.

It wasn't anything that sensible. It was just their kneejerk response to any question - they sent a form email about how environmentally conscious they are, so, like that's why your order was taking 6 weeks, or that's why the item you wanted was out of stock, or whatever.

but Burt's bees stuff is available in Canada, so why can't they ship it to you directly? That doesn't make sense at all, unless you tried to order it in Australia. (still silly)
witch you must be special because my birthday was last month and they didn't send me so much as a shameless promotional email. boo hoo hoo, I'm not special

That's OK Zeljka, I'm pretty sure they only send them to people who cannot use them. That's what this thread seems to have established. |

I got one a couple of days ago, and although I live in the US, it still fits the pattern. I have nothing that I want to buy from EA right now, because I already have Nightlife and I have no interest in crappy console games. Games other than the sims, I steal from my brother anyway.

It was my husband's birthday today - he's the one who registered the game, so he's the one who usually gets EA the birthday presents, but this year no luck.

It's bird flu. Bird flu is why software can't be shipped out of the US. Forget terrorism and military secrets. Everything is bird flu's fault, now.

I'll bet if the Saudis ordered 20 billion dollars worth of military hardware and software, bird flu would not pose a problem! |
