(Davos, Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland - February 1.) With their customary flourish, western governments unveiled their widely anticipated new vapour-ware product yesterday, dubbed the mi-God.

Arriving with actually no new content or special features whatsoever despite months of hype, the twelve-foot thick tablet looks like a giant lead balloon and met with hesitant reviews from the twitterati.

But the mi-God's co-founder and visionary chief architect, Gordon Brown, called it a "revolutionary product" that would enable users, and bankers in particular, to carry on living and thriving in their imaginary worlds, free from the constraints of a normal economy, any kind of ethics, or a competitive open market.
