 OK, so it will be , but let me tell you that for an international company with
a world market the issue should be taken into acccount a little bit. Maybe the
"delivery" of Josh sound great for Brooklyn kind of guys, but not so much for
french, spanish, german or any other people in the world. Well, maybe mattel
does not care about that part of the market. And nevertheless it would be so
easy: just tell the guy to try to talk as he was taught in his own school.
