I still see this being much better than celebrities touring the world to collect children of different ethnicities like trading cards or people having an amazing amount of kids when there are plenty to adopt. As Charles says, "man up".
I wish to take the side that was bashed in the comments section that wasn't brought up in the article. Ahem, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH CABBUBALISM?! It is a practice that serves/served many groups for many years with no real downside.
Ratz; I think they are just drawing the line at electricity. They've been trading with English forever so it's not as if mass produced goods are beyond them.

As such, this is no matter or import. Just as the droves of people who we have never spoken to who find the game off life too hard.
