Pay attention Pesi. We're coming for the left loons. They will all pay a high price. Just ask Dan Blather what it cost him.
We don't FIND victims, the MSM and the Dems do that.
The victims find us, through their stupidity, or through their evil.
Obviously, the liberal Business Week would side with Pepsi who pays their bills via ads.
Longing for the day when the rich and powerful liberals could spew their cavalier and trite vitriol in a circle jerk of back slapping agreement.
Alas, now the boorish masses have developed a megaphone and can be heard objecting from outside the palace gates.
The whole premise of this stupid speech is contrived and inept. Using the hand to make her point - but she has to pick 2 continents to leave out? Also - if she is speaking about continents, then she forgot to lump Canada & Mexico in with the US as the "strong middle finger".
She really had to think long & hard to come up with this analogy - that America is flipping the bird to the rest of the world.
Well, I've never like Pepsi's commercials from way back, never could put my finger on it, but I've always felt like they were being patronizing to me.
Maybe she should go back to business school - not very smart to offend more than half of your customers!
No, it's not.
In today's world of blogs and instant communications, though, even mild criticism can become fodder for a cyber-conflagration.
Hyperbolic nonsense! We have the right to take issue with what a public figure has said in a public speech. Evidently Ms. Brady and her elitist Business Week colleagues think this right should be reserved to them and other members of the intelligentsia.
Here we go,the old media trying to portray anyone, whose comments are challenged, as a victim.
I guess in a sense they are.They are victims of their own egos,a victim of their own "holier than though attitudes",a victim of their anti-American bias.
Hey Diane Brady,we'll keep pointing out the idiocy and lies of these "victims".
Anything we can do to help;)
Corporate pigs.
If it weren't for the good old USA, Ms Nooyi would be stepping over some low caste begger on the streets of New Delhi. Immigrants, of all people, should not bite the hand that feeds them. (Not knowing that the US isn't a continent doesn't make her the brightest Indian in the land, either.)
What a STUPID comment. This is no accident ... she sat down and said, "How can I say something insulting to the United States - the country that has allowed me to succeed far beyond my potential anywhere else - while leaving myself room to pretend I was misunderstood?"
"The middle finger anchors every function that the hand performs and is the key to all of the fingers working together efficiently and effectively ......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 I'm talking about. . . ."
Yup, nothing insulting in that speech . . .
Brady does get in one semi-zinger, though:
Better to err on the side of caution, perhaps, especially in a company that hawks soft drinks and potato chips to young people.
But, as has been noted above (I especially liked dead's comment) the MSM cannot stand the fact that the bloggers and posters are doing the job that they should be doing.
Pay attention Pesi. We're coming for the left loons. They will all pay a high price. Just ask Dan Blather what it cost him.
The Force of the Bloggers...mind boggling! :)
RIYADH - Eighteen Saudi Muslim scholars and thinkers demanded Saturday that those involved in the alleged desecration of the Quran at the US detention facility of Guantanamo Bay be tried by an Islamic court. “It won’t do any good if the State Department (eventually) apologizes or if it rejects this act, or if its authors are tried,” they said in a statement obtained by AFP. “That would amount to throwing dust in the eyes as was the case in the trials of those who committed the crimes (of abusing prisoners at Iraq’s) Abu Ghraib jail ... The Islamic nation will not settle for less than the trial (of the Guantanamo culprits) by an Islamic court,” said the mostly Salafi signatories.
She though she was being a wit, but she was only half-right.
Keep tap-dancing, Pepsi. Eventually you'll get it right -- when you do a Pepsi/USO tour to the Troops. And for heaven's sake, FIRE that speech writer. That was THE stupidest, most banal metaphor and the most poorly written speech. And VERY VERY bad judgment on the CFO's part.
