" I refer to North America and particularly the U.S. as the middle finger because it is the longest and anchors every function the hand performs. The middle finger also is key to all the fingers working together effectively. That is how I view Americas place of importance in the world. "
If this person thinks we're all so stupid to fall for this, then Pepsi needs a wake up call. I bought a bottle last night; it's my last one.

Columbia Business School Graduation Remarks
Indra Nooyi, President and CFO, PepsiCo

---Snip ----
This analogy of the five fingers as the five major continents leaves the long, middle finger for North America, and, in particular, The United States. As the longest of the fingers, it really stands out. The middle finger anchors every function that the hand performs and is the key to all of the fingers working together efficiently and effectively. This is a really good thing, and has given the U.S. a leg-up in global business since the end of World War I.
However, if used inappropriately just like the U.S. itself -- the middle finger can convey a negative message and get us in trouble. You know what Im talking about. In fact, I suspect youre hoping that Ill demonstrate what I mean. And trust me, Im not looking for volunteers to model.
Discretion being the better part of valor
I think Ill pass.
What is most crucial to my analogy of the five fingers as the five major continents, is that each of us in the U.S. the long middle finger must be careful that when we extend our arm in either a business or political sense, we take pains to assure we are giving a hand
not the finger. Sometimes this is very difficult. Because the U.S. the middle finger sticks out so much, we can send the wrong message unintentionally.
***Unfortunately, I think this is how the rest of the world looks at the U.S. right now. Not as part of the hand giving strength and purpose to the rest of the fingers but, instead, scratching our nose and sending a far different signal.***

I often misconstrue someone giving me the finger. I think they are saying something nasty, but in reality they are saying, "You are Number One with me! I am proud to be your friend."
Pepse tastes icky anyway. Real men drink Coke.

How does such a fool become President and CFO of Pepsi? Does this mean that I'm being patriotic when I give her the finger?

It is difficult to imagine someone this disconnected to street smarts becoming CEO or CFO of any major American corporation.
To say nothing of the most rudimentary of biological knowlege.
I assume every knows that the opposable thumb is the main and unique feature of the human hand; and hence the most important finger. Without it, the hand is useless.
