Crazy News of the day

They arrested the CEO of Bazee.com (eBay's India portal) for some teen selling porn video clips in the auction site !!. How worse can the legal system get? How more can the legislature reveal its stupidity? When you hear news like this, your reaction is like 'what the *$%$ were these guys thinking??' As some media person from Indian Express put it, will the govt arrest a Telecom CEO for someone having phone sex or even for someone illegally using cell phone for sex trade?? The administration is still in the brick/mortar mindset and they cant get out of it i guess - they probably compared it to advertising some sex racket in a newspaper etc.

I am reminded of the movie 'Triumph of the nerds' - Steve Jobs in an interview says how Xerox had it all and lost it. The people in the upper management just didnt get it - they were these 'copier heads' who could not envision the power of graphical user interface in taking computers to doorsteps. Xerox could easily have dominated the entire computer industry - but they just didnt get it.

God, please save this world from stupids !!
