    Dumbass Media Product of the Day

    I have nothing against the wonderful people at the DNA newspaper here in Mumbai. They may have made me a write a few pieces now and then, made me email it to them, and then never reverted ever again. This may have happened seven or eight times. But besides that I love these guys like the Ebola.

    But I am puzzled by a slideshow on the DNA site I spotted earlier this morning. The attention grabbing blurb:

    Look what celebs do with their middle fingers

    They can say using the middle finger is obscene (ask once-upon-a-time coach Gregory Chapell, if you don’t believe us), but Bollywood celebs don’t seem to think twice before sporting it in public!

    I don’t know what to say really. Slide on!

    p.s. First one is very good indeed! But after that. Special mention for the great one line comments for each pic.

    What exactly was the funny part - the pics, or the captions? Neither had me in splits - and even the remotest funny thing usually does that to me. Maybe I’ve just been overestimating my intellectuality all these years.

    PS: I’ve got a wallpaper of Zinta which’s the closest she’s ‘come’ to the “Come Hither” look. If any of the DNA people are reading this, I just cracked a real funny joke. Much funnier than your captions at least.

    wonder why of late media seems to be resorting so stuff as silly as these and waste precious paper / online space… and as rightly said, except for the first one, none of the other pics seemed to even provoke a grin…

    Charanya: If they do whatever they want, just because they can (without thinking if they may or may not) ,then I guess the whole world would become a trash can :)
