Food giant PepsiCo is now fizzing in damage-control mode after the company's president likened the U.S. to a middle finger.

The remarks by Indra Nooyi, an India-born woman who also serves as PepsiCo's chief financial officer, came during a speech Sunday to graduates at Columbia Business School in New York, some of whom took offense as an anti-American attack.

Another f---ing, arrogant, a--hole Indian prick.

Lady, go back to India and fix the caste system before messing with my country.

I am highly offended that this foreigner was given a platform to display her socialist, anti-American, ideology.

I hereby give my middle finger to Pepsi and all of its products. As for Ms. Yooyi, go back to Calcutta where you came from.

Well, it looks like Pepsi is now outsourcing executive management also. When will we learn that the very people that we are outsourcing these jobs to hate our friggin guts? From the theft of intellectual property to a sunstandard level of service, US corporations have sold out their own country, their own workers and their own US consumer base. I for one will never buy another pepsi product until they get rid of this anti-American towelhead.

"Have a beer instead. "

I like Diet Sprite. But not today. I need Limoncino del Choistro - Italian lemon liquor. It makes your whole body feel warm. I'm going to defeat this cold, and I am going to roll out the artillery. Spanish Anis or Turkish Roki would do well also. So I will smell like a lemon tree instead of a licorice stick. No beer because I don't feel like eating anything with it:)
