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.

Yeah, she's married. Two kids. One of the earlier threads had her bio, or a link to the bio. Don't remember
the husband's name.

Ninety-nine percent of everything on that list is garbage.

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?

Yeah, it's not like she flushed Koran/Q'uran/Khoraghn down the toilet or anything....

I'll take your advice. Thanks.

Many on the right are becoming just as insufferable as those on the left. Have we truly become the United States of the Offended?

Actually, we are the United States of America which lost over 3,000 lives to a covert terrorist attack. Are you aware that there was recently a demonstration or protest in England by Islamists against the US because of the false Koran Abuse Story in Newsweek Magazine ? Do you know what some of those kind europians were calling for ? The nuclear destruction of New York in response to a false story about sticking a book in a toilet. Its not the US that has the problem. We are responding to the apparent mentally unstable condition of many extremist islamists. Therefore consider this a warning to all nitwit progressives. If you make comments that stir up terrorist attacks againts the US, well to quote a famous movie, 'you are either with us or against us'.

And that has anything whatsoever to do with the subject of this thread or what I posted...

Or did you just pick my post at random for your speech? If so, don't let me disturb you. Carry on.

I dunno about that, too, for the same is also true for me.

Oh THANK you! The masochist in me wonders what the peanut butter flavoring would taste like in Sam's Choice :-) I can't afford any of those now, but will ask it for Christmas. Yum!

I'll try Sam's diet cola.

The even bestest part is that it's under $4 a case.

<< The vitriol, hatred and righteous indignation expressed on this thread make me proud to be a FReeper. If only America as a whole had the sense of identity and angst that FReepers have, our entire planet would be a better place. We're awesome!

In Miz Nooyi's native country, it is common for the locals to poop and pee on the street, their emissions comingling, in the open sewer, with a hundred other foul excretions of their third-world existence. It's the perfect metaphor for product this enemy alien foists upon us. >>

I see passionate righteous indignation here but would't characterize it as vitriol or hatred.

We're a pretty darned merry lot and I know I've had a ball on this one.

I have travelled into around and thank God out of all of greater India [IE including West and East Pakistan/Bangladesh] several times a year for more than 40 years now and reckon in that time I have seen more naked bums [British useage] than 99.9% of our fellow Americans could even imagine!

And have often observed hereabouts, on the ever-increasing number of un-and-anti-American Indian, Chinese and Euro-peon-oriented threads that tell us how America's Greatness is being rapidly overtaken by those three third world poop-holes, that all India and "china" will need to accomplish to absolutely overwhelm US with their fantasized "superiority" is bring about a billion people apiece out of the Middle-Ages!

[The already long-dead-and-decadent Euro-peons are already headed for effective extinction and are non-starters]
