The mandatory worldcup post

I am an Indian. That means that I should at least feign an interest in cricket to get acceptance in several social situations. Now we Indians are an opinionated lot. We have an opinion on everything. Religion, arts, dresses, population and yes cricket too. To show my Indianness I shall give my sarcastic and witty comments on the recent world cup debacle. If you are interested in what happened during the event, simply google 'India worldcup' you'll get plenty of juice. The worldcup debacle I am talking about is the one the poor marketing guys at Pepsi had. Rumors say that Pepsi lost INR 350 crore on this ad campaign. To save faces and to at the stocks of their 'limited edition' Pepsi gold (which tastes horrible but looks really cool. Poor man's champagne it is!) they came out with a pathetic new ad that is being aggressively promoted. Almost as pathetic as the one where Sourav Ganguly is begging for a place in the team by saying 'hoo haa India' in a most annoying fashion.

Watch Sourav groveling here:

Watch the Pepsi weeping tears of blood... erm... gold:
