Coca Cola vs Malaysia... and Mahatir vs US dollar!!!

http://news.my.msn.com/regional/article.aspx?cp-documentid=2022931

A boycott of US-made goods and firms including Coca-Cola and Starbucks has been called by Muslim groups who are planning a protest Friday at the National Mosque in the capital Kuala Lumpur.

Former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad has also called for a global boycott of the US dollar and US products in protest over Washington's support of Israel.

...

OMFG... boycott of the US Dollar?

... Well... in theory... companies could write their contracts in EUROS or DINARS... but somehow I don't think it's gonna happen. lol.

Seriously though, I think that if our entire Muslim population boycotts American goods for 1 month, there will be 2 affects:

1) America barely notices or cares.
2) 1/4 of the shops in Malaysia close shop for 1 month.

...

Idiots.
