Rush Limbaugh discussed this article earlier in the week.

Of course several of the points raised in the article directly contradict Nooyi's speech. Also several non-sequiturs. I think this author needs to go back to the land of his forebearers until he learns to read English.

"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." In other words, she sees the USA as giving the world the extended middle finger.

"how the rest of the world looks at" does not imply "she sees the USA as giving the world the .... finger". It means, "the world sees the USA as giving the world the finger.

These businessmen were jerks, to be sure, but to equate these fools with all Americans?

Another false charge: Nooyi says explicitly that the FEW give a bad rep to the many: "Truth be told, the behaviors of a few sully the perception for all of us"

It was a poorly conceived speech, but this is an even more poorly written and ignorant essay.

The Asian prick who runs the Liquor Store on Spring Street, NYC, the same who today handed the money I gave to him back to me in change, so I think, out of his contempt for non-Asians, or that I was not a big spender - God only knows.

I took our money to his neighbor, and bought that expensive Pomegranite mouthwash to chase the half pint of vodka I require to cope with the ride from NYC to Brooklyn on the subway.

My point is that when I walk into one of these stores, there is no end to the stuff one may choose to drink. No end, despite the heavy advertisments.

Indra Nooyi, thinks the USA is giving "the finger" to all the world.

This just shows you how ignorant these folks are.

I would never - ever - give the UK the big bird.

This makes me extra glad I own Coca Cola stock.

She goes on to regale her captive audience with the story of some obnoxious, drunken American businessmen she witnessed in a Chinese hotel loudly making fun of the bathroom facilities in their rooms.

If a Chinese hotel wants to be considered world class, it better have world class amenities. If my company were paying $300 a night for me to stay in a hotel in Beijing, I ought to be able to expect a toilet similar to one I would find in a hotel in New York, London, or Tokyo.

Not to be out done by Donald Trump, Ms. Nooyi submits her plan for the new World Trade Center

Cr@p, I don't like Coke products, but I disdain traitors to this country even more. Where's Joan Crawford when you need her?!?!
