I'm just watching footage of Richard Gere being burned in effigy over in India.


Richard Gere.

Being burned in effigy.


The world has officially gotten too weird for me.


ETA: This made me ROFL -

Jon: Where would you even get a Richard Gere effigy?

Aasif: Well, you just take a Josh Hartnett effigy and age it about 30 years.

Sheesh. Puts me in mind of a friend of mine who'd taken a vacation there because he was a big music fan. He too found it a thoroughly fucked up place. When I mentioned the word exotic, he immediately answered, "There's nothing exotic about India!" The poverty and callousness really freaked him out, too.

It gets really depressing doing business internationally, and seeing how so many things and attitudes we take for granted are non-existent for most of the people in the East. Even with China, vendors will often outright lie to us. At least the company I'm working for is reaching the stage where we can start using green vendors who take care of their employees.
