Media........

So now a days the media (TV, newspapers and to some extent radio) go ga-ga over something until the anchors themselves get fed up of telecasting the samething.

1. At the beginning of the year it was news about some people being ill treated at a party and this fact made them ask everybody in the coutry if Mumbai is a safe place. You fools, dont people know that all those young guys (and gals too)who go to most new year parties are drunk and hardly have any control over themselves. Do you expect this crowd to sit and just drink some orange juice??? As far as me concerned this TV walahs have got no better thing to do.

2. Just a few days later, media went ga-ga over Sachin and Laxman. If you watched the telecast, pls recollect Sachin's reaction after he scored his century. Decide for yourselves if this guy was happy that he achieved a personal record or was he happy that he contributed to the team's cause. You decide....

3. And then big bang, just bcoz few umpiring decisions were incorrect and someone was called xyzz..... whatever, why does the team need to pull out of the tour. On one of the blog (think its prem panicker) a wonderful concept has been suggested, that of protest. Protest in the sense that in the next 2 test matches the Indian team should just play without any appeal whatsoever, even if an Aussie batsmen is out the team should not appeal, just carry on playing. If at all those Aussies have got anything called sportmanship or spirit, they themselves will move out the ground and the next batsmen will come in. Why not give it a try....

4. An for the next week or so, starting 9th Jan, media will be gung ho about Tata 1 lakh car. Reviews, re-reviews and what not. Just switch on any news channel in the coming days and you'll get to see lots of fun and repeat telecasts..........
Regarding the so called controversies,

a. This car will clog and pollute out already crowded and polluted "Indian" roads. What the hell ? Aren't our roads already polluted and clogged?? Why did somebody not think of it prior to this. Its as if this new car will create all the pollution and clogging. Nonsense
Regarding pollution nobody raises their finger towards all those gas guzzling and polluting GM, Ford, Toyota, cars... How is this car different. Yes its different in the sense that per capita pollutants will be lower. Does someone recognise that???

b. This car will not meet saftey standards. Boss, the concept of this car is that it would be better than a 2 wheeler. Now till date what damn saftey did we have in a 2 wheeler. Absolutely none!!! But nobody questioned this. Why not go and catch these 2 wheeler companies starting from TVS, Bajaj to Honda and Suzuki...?? Why??
