I was reading about the British sailors on Google News this morning.  I forget what paper.  That’s the beauty of Google News.  By having such a wide range of papers to read from, you neglect to notice what banner you are reading under, or at least I do.  Yeah, I know that’s irresponsible, but like I don’t know the slant 10 words in anyways.  Now, as I was saying, I was reading some Indian paper about the British hostages, and at the bottom of the page was an advertisement asking for donations for Hurricane Katrina victims. 

Maybe it’s just me, but I would think that if you were reading an Indian paper, the ad should be for Bhopal victims or something. 

I read somewhere or other that you can still donate to the victims of the Bhopal disaster online.  Since the Katrina charity ad got me thinking about the Bhopal disaster, I went in search of Bhopal on the internet.  There are three competing sites. 

Bhopal.com- This site is Union Carbide’s. 

Bhopal.net- This site has been blocked by my work’s firewall for being political.  Same with Bhopal.org.

Final Score:
Activism 0
The Man 3

The bottom line is, since India’s economy is taking off, they no longer have domestic issues to worry about and can focus on helping the US with its hurricane victims.

One more bottom line, this time of the disclaimer variety.  Google generated the ad in question, so who knows why or how it got there.
