I would like to bring to your attention that Yahoo India has stooped to terribly cheap levels. They have introduced a new emoticon on their website that is a cheap drawing of a Brahmin priest (mockingly drawn).

Here is the link:

All members are requested to send emails to Yahoo
Executives in protest. A sample is given herein. The
idea is to time the mails so as to fall within a span
of 24 hours.

Emails to be sent between 8th Sep (0500 GMT) and 9th
Sep (0500 GMT)

Emails to be sent to:

jerry@yahoo-inc.com
filo@yahoo-inc.com
callahan@yahoo-inc.com
gcoleman@yahoo-inc.com


Subject Line : Racial mockery by Yahoo-India

Dear Sir,

Please, refer to your webpage mentioned below.

The sixth picture is a plain ridicule of the Hindu Brahmin community of
southern india. It is nauseating to think that a
global giant like Yahoo could stoop so low as to make
cheap fun of a community in the course of its
commercial activity. It offends my sensibilities and
honour. I understand that many citizens wrote to your
company to remove the picture of ridicule; but to no
avail.

I seek your immediate attention in the matter and
action on priority. In the absence of a rectification
from your end, I will be constrained to initiate
protests in my own way.

1. I will wind up all my Yahoo usage in the Internet.

2. I will extensively campaign against Yahoo,
highlighting the breach of value system.
(docs.yahoo.com/info/values)

3. I will actively promote rival coroporations who are
sensitive to the people's feelings.

4. I will join like-minded persons and lauch a media
campaign against racism.

5. I will initiate legal proceedings against your
company for violating the fundamental rights
guaranteed by the Indian Republic.

I hope that you will not create a situation for me to
take these five steps for saving the honour of the
brahmin community from ridicule by your corporation.

Sincerely,

Dear Bhahusruth:
It is still there! I just now checked it!

Dear Bhahusruth:

Maybe so. However, every time I boot up my laptop, the Yahoo Messenger automatically comes on. When I send IMs, it is still there under "aatejate" (the sixth one) audible.
Maybe it hasn' been populated to all the servers! I live in US.
