You're right - I assumed they are involved in the arms trade. I should have clarified what I meant. I assumed too that this wouldn't be a mob going after them, though a due process to gather information and evidence. What would your thoughts be if they were in fact say an employee (of any level) of a weapons company? Also, you're equally assuming it's a "bad joke taken out of context."

Yes, Occam's Razor tells me that when an employee of a media organization says he's going to arm Pakistan and India with tridents and swords, it's most likely and therefore best to assume it's a joke. Assuming otherwise would require some evidence.

I don't wish to engage in hypotheticals, suffice it to say I'd sooner be a prostitute than work for a weapons company myself.

Also, when's Turntable.fm making its way to Canada? :) I know I could use a way to pretend I'm in the U.S. - though I'd rather not circumvent.
