(SANTA MONICA / ZUERICH / NEW YORK)
THE LAWSUIT AGAINST etoy IS DROPPED!

according to the etoy.LAWYERS chris truax 
in san diego and peter e. wild in zurich 
eToys Inc. gave up its naive fight against 
the famous international art group etoy 
this tuesday after a long and exhausting 
dispute about the terms and conditions of 
this settlement.

on monday, january 24, 2000, the 
TOYWAR.crisis-control-board, 1345 special 
TOYWAR.agents and media warriors triggered 
another firestorm : within a few hours 
many hundred EMAIL-TOY-BOMBS exploded in 
the brains of customers, e-shoppers, brokers 
and nervous business men all over the world.

no one got hurt - but the message is placed
and the eToys share value sunk below its 
initial price of $20: value on tuesday / 
11.12 AM: $19.0625 per share unit.

one of the targets of the violence-free 
toy-bombing was the eToys HQ in santa monica 
... eToys felt that it is now time to drop 
this lawsuit and to accept all the demands 
the etoy.CORPORATION submitted.

IT WAS A PLEASURE TO DO BUSINESS WITH ONE OF 
THE  BIGGEST E-COMMERCE GIANTS IN THE WORLD: 
F*U*C*K*I*N*G* INTENSE & REALLY EXPENSIVE 
BUT A KICK FOR ALL OF US! WE ALL LEARNED A LOT.

WE THANK ALL THE BRAVE AGENTS WHO LINED UP 
BEHIND US TO PROTECT THE ART BRAND "etoy" & 
FREEDOM ON THE NET!

all agents on TOYWAR.com get rewarded with
etoy.SHARES and special compensations.

TOYWAR.heros will be awarded with etoy.MEDALS
and TOYWAR.titles after champagne and drugs 
left the bodies of the TOYWAR.crisis-control-
board-members.

THIS IS A GREAT MOMENT IN THE HISTORY
OF INTERNET ART!

for one time we avoid long statements and 
launch the party rockets...
