Global Warming - In Vogue?!?

I was watching Devil's Advocate on CNN-IBN the other day. Lt Col Kirorilal Bainsla, the Gurjjar leader was Karan Thapar's (I admire that guy!!.. Man! He screws every guy's happiness on that show... Great Going Mr.Thapar) prey this time. The questions were razor sharp and I must say Kirorilal Bainsla was doing a good job in putting up a solid face. I like the show for its anchor. Sometimes you can really see him corner those politicians and see them try to wriggle out of it. Like once there was an interview with MDMK leader Vaiko. Man!!.. that was half an hour of plain Comedy. Vaiko possibly didn't understand many words that the anchor used and in the end came out looking really bad. I was watching the show with my room mate and we laughed heartily at every answer. If that Interview could have been used during election campaigns, then the MDMK leader would have look for "The Bihar means" to get votes. Such Blunders!!!.. Anyways, coming back to what prompted me to write this one....

The show was progressing well when it suddenly took the inevitable irritating Commercial Break. There was a scene of Ice Melting and suddenly John Abraham comes on screen to say "Our planet is facing a big danger..blah blah"...Then Abhishek Bachchan "Global Warming ..blah blah.. danger.. blah blah".. Then Bipasha Basu "blah blah.. blah blah....[;)]." Lara Dutta "Save our Planet... blah blah".. By this time there is this good build up about Global Warming, its dangers and appeals to save our planet. Then comes our Amitabh Bachchan himself and says "Avoid Global Warming.. Do Something cool today.. Watch the IIFA Coolathon!"...

Whhhhhhhaaaaaaattttt????!!!!????

.
.. Yes that is correct.. He said "Watch the IIFA Coolathon".. This was a trailer for the telecast of an award function held a couple of weeks back. I thought .. what crap... They took such a serious issue and made a mockery of it!!??!!

Now, I really am not aware if the IIFA Awards this time had anything to do with Global Warming Awareness or something.. If it does not.. then well.. What can I say.. the guy who made the Trailer has nuts where his brains should have been... Countries are spending billions of dollars for its awareness. Scientists are working towards avoiding a catastrophe... and this is what we can do???.. Make a trailer for some worthless award function??..

C'mon... I feel this could have been avoided... and that we are responsible enough to do something better than this..

Anyways, now I sincerely hope that this years IIFA awards has something seriously related to Global Warming... Otherwise it would be so .... so....... what...stupid!!(being decent here).. Right???
