| Fake Whirliant Press Release |
I made up this press release on 12/13/2000 and sent it to a few friends... so many e-commerce consulting companies named ___nt were announcing that they were missing their projected numbers for Q4 revenue so I thought it would be funny to goof on Whirlpool for doing the same.

E-Business Network Appliance Services company "Whirliant" (formerly Whirlpool Corporation) announced today that it will cut 6,000 jobs, or 10% of its workforce.
``Despite our aggressive actions during the last several months, we continue to face industry and economic conditions that have led to intensified price competition, rising material costs, and slowing or declining demand,'' Chairman and Chief Executive David Whitwam said in a statement.
He added, "Those fucking dot coms were buying our E-Business Network Appliances for their in-office kitchens... I guess it was part of their strategy to keep people at work instead of going home and having a life. They were our best customers - who else would buy a $13,000 talking refrigerator with an integrated MP3 player and a web interface? The margins on that baby were schweet... Now that they're fucked, we're fucked." Mr. Whitwam then went on to stress that his name is not Wigwam, and pouted for the remainder of the interview.
