Not making it to the meeting.....

So like many other large companies mine has people working offshore for us. Our offshore folks happen to be in Bangalore, India. So yesterday I get the following email (I will blank out the real addresses to protect the innocent):

Subject: Some status meeting you don't care about.

We have some Riot's going on in Bangalore and will not be able to make it for this meeting. Sorry about the short notice.

Thanks,
Guy in India

sure enough

I particularly like this section:
"Distraught fans smashed cars, burned buses and battled with police Thursday in the streets of Bangalore, angry they had been unable to view the body of south Indian film icon Raj Kumar.

Furious they had been unable to get into the stadium, the crowds attacked policemen, pelting them with rocks and chasing them through Bangalore, the hub of India's high-technology industry."

WOW!

Could it be that there are people out there even crazier than themcrazyamericans, I know it's hard to believe! Can't believe I said it myself!

So stay clear of Hollywood 'cause who knows someone might go Sodoku on you when the next Celebrity dies, or worse yet they might threaten us with moving to Canada! and as we all know we could not possibly spare any Celebs !
