I must say.. good attempt .. Just an Idea, how about launching a PuneTech News channel on Youtube.. may be covering interesting event’s in Pune’s Technology world..

something like Video blogging.. Although, It is already done by Pune Tech using this website. I think it will be Big Hit

@Rosemary, I’m sorry that the recession hit you. Even I have friends who were fired due to the recession, friends/family whose jobs have become hell because of the recession, friends whose company is in really bad shape because of the recession. Even my own income has gone down significantly because of the recession. The recession is real, it is severe, and it is here to stay for a couple of years. Be that as it may, we can’t stop making jokes about issue X because somebody negatively affected by X will find it in bad taste. For every joke, there is someone somewhere in the world who finds it in bad taste. We’ll be left with no jokes at all.

As for publicity stunt, you got us there! Yes, we admit it was a publicity stunt. If anybody here was under the impression that this April Fools prank had some nobler, higher purpose, please be advised that it did not.

That was fantastic! What I first saw was Navin’s post about this being a good April Fool’s prack. So can’t really say if I would have fallen for it; but I like to believe that I would have… not because I don’t think I am smart, but just because the video was sooooo good. (I also think it’s time for Mallika Sherawat and Rakhi Sawant to enter politics… like Govinda and Nagma.)

Hats off to all the pranksters. Majja aali!

Since you admit it was a prank, I think it was in bad taste. Perhaps because I am one of those hit by the recession? Be that as it may, why does the whole thing reek of a publicity stunt?
