This is no a conspiracy theory. I have proof. First, let’s establish the rules for KGB “running” something:

1. Shortage in goods.
2. Long lines.
3. Creation of black-market.

Now that we agree on that, let’s consider the following facts:

Amazon’s Kindle. Upon the issuing of the Good-Mother-Russia-Quality device:

• Ran out of stock within 5.5 hours.
• Created long lines:

• Sells on eBay for 1,500$.

Nintendo’s Wii:

• In short supply for over a year.
• Creates long lines.

• And three (not one) black markets – one within stores (“Better to stock for winter, Boris, da?”), one selling on eBay, and one selling with “old Vodka we have in stock”.

The list goes on:

Guitar hero selling for 9,000$ (90$ retail) on eBay.
Rations on the iPhone.

I would have said what I think of it all, but Big Brother is listening. So I’ll just say: “You deserve it, Capitalist свиньи!”.
