Following rumors of an 'exciting new product' supposed to launch at Hell Up In Hardware recently, the store's proprietor, Jimbo, told media outlets earlier today that the product would not be making an appearance.

"The damn Weyland Utani stepped in," he said. "Said I was poised to cut into their precious monopoly."

While Jimbo has been threatened under penalty of death not to reveal what theproduct was or how one could get their hands on one of the several hundred that had already been produced before WU stepped in, he did offer a few hints.

"WU is just THIRSTY for money. They don't want anyone having fun on THEIR OWN, so they say that I can't sell my product. I guess you'll just have to continue being a corporate whore and buying your soylent and SODA contracts from WU so that they can have all the money in the world."

A few witnesses say that just prior to the meeting with the WU president, Jimbo was seen leading a hoverlift across the western road towards Botany Bay. These reports are, as of yet, unconfirmed, and Jimbo himself denies them.

"I don't work with pirates," he said, "They give me the creeps."
