Irwin Prez Resigns! Riots Break Out! Posted Thursday, November 30, 2000 - 7:32:PM, by Ace.
UMJAMS spotted this story first. As you probably well know, Irwin is the popular toymaker that was on track to make dbz toys. Here is a bit of a press release from Reuters:

Reuters reports that George Irwin resigned on Monday as president and chief executive of Irwin Toy Ltd. as analysts speculated its sales were less than stellar heading into the crucial Christmas season. Irwin is best known for its Dragon Ball Z figures. Macdonald Irwin, company chairman and father of George Irwin, has taken over the president's role until a permanent replacement was found and a search committee has been struck to find a new president and chief executive, the company said. Maureen Atkinson, an analyst at J.C. Williams Group, said that as a manufacturer, Irwin Toy will have already had its ''kick at Christmas'' since retailers have stocked holiday merchandise by this point. George Irwin's departure likely came in the wake of disappointing holiday sales, she said.
