<nettime> etoy FREEZES SHARES OF AUSTRIAN GOV.



*******************************************************
NSI STILL MAKING TROUBLE. THEY HAVE NOT REINSTALLED
THE etoy.DNS (AGENTS: DO NOT STOP THE TOY-BOMBING!)
*******************************************************

but this email has another purpose: 

(VIENNA/ZURICH/TOKYO)

DUE TO A MAJOR CRISIS IN AUSTRIA THE MANAGEMENT OF 
THE etoy.CORPORATION DECIDED TO SUSPEND THE 
etoy.VOTING-RIGHTS OF THE AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT AFTER 
A SUCCESSFUL 2 YEAR COOPERATION. WE WILL FREEZE ALL 
PORTFOLIOS OF THE "BUNDESKANZLERAMT" UNTIL THE 
(EXTREME RIGHT) PARTY FPO GETS KICKED OUT OF THE 
GOVERNMENT.

etoy DOES NOT ACCEPT BUSINESS PARTNERS WHO COLLABORATE 
WITH PEOPLE WHO PLAN TO LIMIT THE RIGHTS OF ARTISTS, 
FOREIGNERS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T FIT INTO THEIR 
REACTIONARY IDEOLOGY.

etoy IS NOT AGAINST DEMOCRACY. etoy IS AGAINST PEOPLE WHO
TRY TO DESTROY CONTEMPORARY LIFESTYLE.

the office of the chancellor of austria owns 6000 
etoy.SHARES (0.94% of the corporation). for 2 years we 
had a very interesting relationship with the austrian 
government lead by former chancellor victor klima who 
signed the first etoy.SHARES on january 25, 1998 in his 
office in vienna. there were many disputes and fights 
about lifestyle, anarchy and the role of drugs in the 
etoy.ARTWORK but on a basic level we accepted each other 
and knew that communication and respect was an important 
base for human civilization, freedom and the development 
of visions for the future. etoy never fully agreed with 
the social democratic way to interact on a global 
playground. most of the ideas seemed too old fashioned to 
the etoy.MANAGEMENT. but etoy can confirm that these 
people had style and definitely knew that an advanced 
society needs different approaches and perspectives... 
even if both business partners were following different 
strategies we had a contract to support each other by 
expanding our minds in exhausting discussions about power, 
parties, poetry, petting or parasites.

the etoy.MANAGEMENT does not see any chance to expand the
minds of the new barbarian ministers at all. it would just 
be dangerous to try to talk about LSD and etoy.SHARES with 
such "people". who knows how they might react if they get 
nervous because they start to feel what they miss in life. 
we had enough trouble during the last 3 months with eToys! 
narrow minded freaks really pop up everywhere as it seems.
is it the weather? the moon? or just poisoned beer in some 
bad bars?


etoy DOES NOT SUPPORT CULTURAL BOYCOTTS AGAINST THE AUSTRIAN 
POPULATION. AUSTRIA NEEDS CULTURAL VIRUSES & MENTAL SUPPORT. 
DO NOT FORGET THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SMART PEOPLE IN 
THIS COUNTRY. DO NOT COLLABORATE WITH THE GOVERNMENT! 
DO NOT ACCEPT GIFTS OR INVITATIONS.

ARS ELECTRONICA, MEGO, SILVERSERVER, FM4, PERSONAL RECORDS, 
SUNSHINE, SUBETAGE, AUDIOROOM, WINK, RESTATE.ORG, FARMERS 
MANUAL AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ARE VALUABLE PARTNERS TO 
ESTABLISH COUNTERCULTURE. DON'T LET FPO & OVP DESTROY
WHAT OUR FRIENDS BUILT!


in solidarity: the etoy.BOARD
for the etoy.SHAREHOLDERS / ARTISTS / EMPLOYEES


etoy.MONO (TOYWAR.crisis-control) BRATISLAVA
etoy.ZAI (ceo) ZURICH / NEW YORK
etoy.GRAMAZIO (president) MONZA / ITALY
etoy.KUBLI (legal affairs) GENEVA



SMART GUYS ALWAYS REMEMBER:

"MONEY AND SHARES ARE THE OBJECTS OF OUR DESIRE... 
...BUT ART IS WHAT WE WOULD KILL FOR..."
