Seattle (NBp) - Delegates from around the globe got down to business at the World Trade Organization (WTO) summit, despite widespread protests. The first item on the agenda was the increase in the number of Pokemon trading cards illegally crossing country borders.

"There are so many smugglers of Pokemon cards today, that it really doesn't make sense to even restrict it any more," declared Easter Island ambassador Luke Skywalker (no relation). "If someone can find a rare Pigeot card in Togo then, by golly, I think they should be able to freely get it without having to resort to using black market smugglers."

Skywalker's rousing speech helped bring the motion to a 205-7 victory. The opponents said that parents would simply feel compelled to pony up more money and that Pokemon should actually be called Wallemon (Wallet Monsters).

With the jubilation and momentum gained from the swift progress in hand, the WTO quickly adjourned the formal meetings for the day to trade Pokemon cards in hopes of bringing an excellent find home for the kids.
