Mockery doo

Just found this article on an American news website, The Onion, obviously its false and made up because its The Onion after all, but the scary thing is might turn out to be true...its worth reading for shock value I guess.

It is also a way for Americans to mock us, but that's acceptable, all we need to do is mock their culture rather than embrace it like a blind rat. If only we could realise the significance of self-mockery.

Air India Now Offers Business Caste Seating
April 12, 2006 | Issue 42•15, The Onion-America's finest news source.

MUMBAI—Air India, the subcontinent's largest airline, announced it will offer upgraded Business Caste seating on all flights starting in July. "More legroom, wider seats—and no need to associate with the manual laborers," a spokesman for the airline said Tuesday. "Our business travelers must have lived good past lives to deserve this." Air India still ranks at the bottom of the airline industry in customer satisfaction, with a high volume of complaints about cooking fires in the climate-uncontrolled cabins, wandering cows that flight attendants refuse to remove, and the "Untouchable" Coach Caste, which is towed behind Air India jetliners in a giant burlap sack.
