Pepsico flipped off due to middle finger

Rush Limbaugh sounds off on controversy as many urge boycotts, firing of president

An apology by PepsiCo's president who likened the United States to a middle finger is apparently doing little to calm outrage caused by her remarks.

In the wake of WorldNetDaily's coverage of Indra Nooyi's commencement speech to graduates at Columbia Business School in which she compared the U.S. to the middle finger with both positive and negative connotations, consumers are vowing to boycott the company, and the topic is being widely discussed on talk radio.

Cheetos. Quaker cereals. Now that hurts.

If you liked the taste of Pepsi, try Wal-Mart's store brand of cola. It's very close. And whatever you think of Wal-Mart itself, I'd bet their (US-made) cola is not manufactured by some eeeeeeeeevil multinational conglomerate.

Well now, we wouldn't want to further corrupt her with our evil American money, would we?

Why, spending our dirty Amurrican money on Pepsi products would be like... like giving her the finger. Why be so rude to the lady? We must refrain.

Are you willing to become rconice or cocacolaonice or even walmartcolaonice so we don't pollute this woman with any more filthy American lucre?

Of all the things to get offended at... You have got to be kidding me.

Our Supreme Court and society have allowed tens of millions of abortions
Every mainstream media outlet is an ally of the Islamofascists
Leftists continue to use government schools as tools to taint children with multiculturalism, environmentalism and other leftist dogma
The left wing flat out lies about Social Security, saying that there is no financial crisis and that any reform is a scam to rob the poor or feed the rich
We have a Republican President who makes Bill Clinton look like a penny-pincher
For those transgressions, people get annoyed.

Some stupid broad ineffectively uses a bad analogy to make a useless and unclear point - to an audience of Columbia grads, of all people. For this, we are outraged?

We deserve the society that we end up with.

Actually is best to stop drinking cola and snack products entirely. The soda (carbonated water) rots your teeth and the snacks are typically too high in carbs. It is a strange experience, but once you go a few months without eating high carb products (french fries and potato chips) they no longer even seem like an edible food item when you do try them again. At least IMHO.

A Google search reveals that - surprise - none of the big MSM have covered this. Surprise!

If Nooyi had made a concomitantly un-PC comment, you just know the NY Times et. al would have been all over it.

Why I never knew that drinking Cheetos could be hazardous to my health. Thanks for the clue.

Best I can tell she said the US gave the world the middle finger by acting alone on Iraq. After the UN scandal I don't know how anyone can stick up for not taking out Saddam. He had the whole world compromised as evidenced by the UN not wanting to enforce it's own resolutions. I don't need some liberal twit from India living off the fat of a US company slamming the very country she has her job with. Just because everyone in the world is diving off the cliff into a 5 foot pool of water doesn't mean we should follow them.

Thanks for the list.

Believe it or not there is ONLY one item on the entire list I use regularly and like and that is Tropicana OJ and I occasionally, will buy and eat a bag of Lay's chips.

Oh well, I'm sure I can find a good sub for juice and when I try and button some of my pants, its a reminder that I really don't need chips after all. LOL

I believe that Minute Maid is a Coca Cola brand.
