Broad bands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just the other day I was reading an ad for Lufthansa Airlines. Apparently, they have broadband internet conncetivity within the flight. Damn it! Here we are in Indian homes where broadband hasnt yet mushroomed as fast as we would have liked, and now flights have broadband. For what purpose? Oh..in case you need to check your mail on-flight. Talk about extravaganza!!!

Maybe I am under-imagining a bit. We can surely look forward to the day when dispirited youth form a terrorist organization called the AlUmma. Their mode of action is simple - hijack Lufthansa flights and download as much as they can.
Terrorist to Pilot: "Dickwad! Better not land the plane..we have just begun downloading the 3rd season of Friends. Another 7 more to go..."

Speaking of Friends, a Tamil version of it (titled Krishna Cottage) is being aired on Jaya TV. My heart goes out to the 5 actors (3 guys + 2 girls) who've acted in this show. I admire their reserves of self-control which definitely has prevented them from murdering the "creator" of this show.
And to top all this is the opening credits, which begins with "Concept by ....". Weird. As far as I know plagiarism is a pretty ancient concept.
