FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE:

With the dawn of our new nation, West Xylophone, we wish to hold this telethon internationally to gain funds for the construction of a great public building dedicated to pure knowledge. This public building will be built as a major center for researchers and creative minds to collaborate on aquiring advancements for the human race. This proposal has been a direct order from our President. He states:

"Our new country shall establish itself as one of the epicenters for the greatest minds in the world."

After stating this, many officials sitting at the "rectangular" table argued that in order to do so would require some great "wonder." Debates then raged about the lack of funds, since the budget is going entirely toward Education and Healthcare and lack any "leftover" spending funds. A worldwide telethon was then proposed. This telethon was the brainchild of our Secretary of Treasurary.

Pledging any funds will grant the donor to have their own labs in their name and will take credit for any advancment started there. Also, a local West Xylophone corporation (Xylophones Inc.) states that they will issue shares of their stocks accordingly to the donors. Though the corporation stated this, it is not enforced by our Nation. We, as an adminstration, are skeptical about these "stock issuing" claims. If a nation were to donate the stock would be in that nation's name. The only likely nation to see interest in this would be that of a socialist type nation. We do not support socialist nations.

What would a telethon be without entertainment? For the duration of the telethon Johhny Benson will play the piece "Chopsticks" on the xylophone. Enjoy this quality entertainment.

Thank you
West Xylophone Press Committee

"Hah! Hah hah! I 'ove 'at sung!" shouted Greg Burma, a janitor for BGT. He was lounging in the Chairman's fancy, plush chair watching TV. He picked up the phone and turned on the computer, ready to donate a large chunk of someone else's money.

Dialing the number for the West Xylophone International Telethon, he talked into the reciever. "'Ello? Anyone 'er? I 'anna donate 'ive 'undred millun dullurs!"
