This is all well and good, but you have to query the ad agency's wisdom, when the word 'Patak's' is rendered with a soft 'p' and a flattened 'a' in its native tongue, i.e. 'buttocks'. I think we could be forgiven for finding buttocks sauce a less than inviting prospect, even if Britain really does love curry.
Racist.
ReplyDeleteActually, that loveable pudgy bloke who likes to reminisce about his mother's great work in setting up the company also argued against his sister's inheriting any of the family business because of "Hindu tradition." In court. What a load of toss. And what a tosser.
You're not really a racist.
Thanks dude.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I was racist, but you never know with white folks. It's good to have it confirmed.
While we're on the topic, can you explain 'Hindu extremism' to me? I thought that was an oxymoron?
Hinduism means peace.
ReplyDeleteHinduism is a religion of peace.
You can replace "Hinduism" with any religion. They're all capable of extremism because the people are essentially stupid. The teachings of Christ would never condone the crusades or the inquisition... but it happens.
Don't believe anyone who tells you Hindu Extremists don't exist. They are lying - maybe even to themselves. It's an ugly truth.
As for the idea that Hinduism is about non-violence... meh. That's only since the Jains and Buddhists came along.
Islam, though... oh, boy. Where do you start with that one?
