A Message from Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo President and CFO Following my remarks to the graduating class of Columbia University’s Business School in New York City, I have come to realize that my words and examples about America unintentionally depicted our country negatively and hurt people.

I appreciate the honest comments that have been shared with me since then, and am deeply sorry for offending anyone. I love America unshakably – without hesitation – and am extremely grateful for the opportunities and support our great nation has always provided me.

Over the years I’ve witnessed and advised others how a thoughtless gesture or comment can hurt good, caring people. Regrettably, I’ve proven my own point. Please accept my sincere apologies.

Dear Indra Nooya,

Let me share this with you;

BUSTED !

You're a liar because in your speech you also said,

"However, if used inappropriately – just like the U.S. itself, the middle finger can convey a negative message and get us in trouble,"

Which means you fully understand the nuances and the double entendre of the insulting analogy YOU used.

You thought you'd be cool, hep, one of the in crowd, when you used your middle finger analogy of the United States. The only thing you regret is, getting called on it. Rather than come clean, you continue the scharade with obfiscation. No one makes it to the level you've made in business by being dumb. As an Officer Of PepsiCo, you gambled your future that your cutsie double entendre would go over big with the young crowd and, guess what ? You lost.

Now suck it up, like a grown up, stop playing innocent bullsh!t games with the pretense that you don't understand the nuances of the language and take the lumps you have so richly earned.

Just remember this Indra, all those years your parents took those sh!tty jobs and worked their a$$es off for you, just so YOU would have a better future, have been carelessly flushed down the toilet. You shamed yourself and the hard work of your family because you thought it was the "in thing" to diss America and more especially, you MISCALCULATED the reaction to your words. Enjoy your time off.

A Pissed Off American

I hope FOX News picks up on this woman's speech and runs with it for days.

Dear pyx,

Please send your missive to PepsiCo's Board of Directors.

They need to see this kind of "regular" American's reaction to the person who is now the face of their company...

I loved it!
