Derived from sonny boy. It was how the japanese referred to americans.

Not sure of the truth to the above, but it is what I have heard.

Replace useless with "Breaks a day after the warranty is up" and there you go.

Exactly

So the Sony walkman wasn't good?!

What about the Sony F717 digital camera? Or the VX2000 DVcam?

What about the aibo (the dam dog lol)

Why would u need an electronic dog? The novelty wears off after a week.
