Yak farmers yak it up - Page 2

YakNet, by connecting with the Internet, has opened up international markets for yak farmers. NYC restaurants are especially excited about overnighting yak steaks for their customers bored with buffalo, snail darters, and whale sushi. McDonalds recently announced they would design a healthy alternative to their famous Big Mac. “The Big Mac-Yak is a great new product that fits well with our new low-cal, low-fat approach to fast food. Yak tastes a lot like dirt, which is important to the credibility of health food…if it tasted good no one could enjoy eating it.” Demand is so high a new yak stock exchange was created. Hillary Clinton, showing she still has the Midas touch, made $100,000 on yak futures within the first week.

When confronted with the cultural and dietary pollution their project has introduced to Nepal, the original Wi-Fi proponents remain optimistic. “We have launched a new web site describing the dangers of Freedom Fries and Coca-Cola. We are also creating an interactive Flash movie that seeks to preserve Nepal’s history and culture using gigabytes of audio and video clips. Without technology, these precious artifacts would be lost forever.”
