    Society today is so soft. I second the white person perspective.

    Who gives a crap? It's a beer with a goofy label. NEBCO should have said "piss off, stop being so sensitive." Fake outrage needs to stop.

    Since people in this thread also cannot spell ridiculous correctly (seriously, what browser are these folks using?), I think Gandhi is going to be beyond them. :wink:

    This is beyond ridiculous! Still can't seem to understand how this is offensive.
    Perhaps, as noted early, it's just my white person perspective; but it takes a little more to offend me.
    Anger me? Now that's a different story! :wink:

    As if it wasn't hard enough to get Gandhi Bot before!:slight_frown:

    73% say it should be banned via buzzfeed poll. The unwashed, uniformed and entitled members of the buzzfeed world have spoken. BAN THE BEER!

    but really buzzfeed sucks, and so does this article.

    It's just some wack-job seeking attention. This isn't some sort of official diplomatic request.

    likely the same handful of people spamming NEBCO's facebook. the no's are getting spam votes because the yes's don't give a shit about this non-issue.

    Am I drunk and missing sarcasm, or just looking at the wrong poll? The poll in the OP's link says 73% believe it should NOT be banned.

    Idiots are idiots, plenty of bored and stupid Americans would be saying same ridiculous shit if NEBCO made ReaganBot.

    NEBCO should just change the name to Ghandi Bot and make it a non issue.

    There are slightly bigger issues in the world than the graphics on a beer can that citizens of India will never see in person.

    Doesn't India have bigger issues on their plate than this? When I hear or read the name Gandhi, I respectfully think of the man that preached non violence and lived by it. We all could use that name dropped in to our lives a little more.

    The world is the way it is because people are so fucking sensitive to everything. It's just beer.
