Pepsi COO should give herself the finger

How on earth I missed this when it happened, I'll never know. I guess this needs to be kept alive. I'll help.

Pepsi president likens U.S. to middle finger
Joe Kovacs, WorldNetDaily

"She said her analogy 'leaves the long, middle finger for North America, and in particular, the United States. As the longest of the fingers, it really stands out. The middle finger anchors every function that the hand performs and is the key to all of the fingers working together efficiently and effectively. This is a really good thing, and has given the U.S. a leg up in global business since the end of World War I.

'However, if used inappropriately – just like the U.S. itself, the middle finger can convey a negative message and get us in trouble,' Nooyi said, noting she would not demonstrate, nor was she looking for volunteers. 'Discretion being the better part of valor, I think I'll pass.'"
I think my family will exercise some "discretion" by avoiding Pepsi and Taco Bell, at least for a while.
