Folksy fun at Buffett meeting
by w1ld at 12:18 pm EDT, May 1, 2004 |
] The movie (produced by Buffett's daughter, Susie) then
] went into sci-fi mode, taking the audience forward to the
] year 2104, when Microsoft was about to take over Wal-Mart
] and Starbucks to form MicroWalBucks, a "strategic
] alliance" to take over the world.
]
]
] In a pastiche of PlayStation and Saturday morning
] cartoons, Buffett and Munger, dressed in Fruit of the
] Loom undershirts and boxers, battled Arnold
] Schwarzenegger to bust up the alliance. The Warrenator
] and the Charlanator ended up defeating the Terminator by
] splattering the windshield of his monster truck with a
] can of Cherry Coke.
]
]
] The rest of the movie cut back and forth from animated
] shorts and satiric features to commercials for Berkshire
] Hathaway products and services -- Dairy Queen,
] Larson-Juhl picture frames, Dexter shoes, Nebraska
] Furniture Mart, GEICO insurance, Acme bricks, Helzberg
] diamonds, and on and on. |
