Indra Nooyi's speech (.pdf) at Columbia Business School's graduation has created a stir. She compared the "major continents" of the world to fingers of the hand. North America, the U.S. in particular, was compared to the middle finger. As much as I dislike her comparison, I would really be upset if I were Australian. It was ranked the same as Antarctica - neither got a finger in her speech.
Then again, perhaps that's better than getting the finger.
Pepsi has posted a message of apology on their website.
