People take themselves and their monuments waaaaay too seriously. I'm
surprised that director of the school even issued an apology, seeing that
I'd consider that a personal act, not one associated with the school.
Watch as a hundred more incidents like this happen because they showed just
how sensitive they are.
Many of these "cultures" need to leave the
kindergarten. Some clown takes a picture of his penis in front
of the Taj Mahal. Big fucking deal. Cry me a river. Next
they'll be demanding apologies for showing your dick in
front of a picture of it too.
This whole "international incident" would've just
disappeared into the net with little attention if those Indian
authorities didn't make such a big deal of it. Now there
will be repostings, imitators, and far more attention than it
ever deserved.
This is the same kind of hokey bullshit that went on with that
Mohammed cartoon. Of course nobody could be bothered to take the
high road and just outright ignore the cartoon. No, that'd
require being confident enough to think it's beneath them to
care. Now the newspaper probably has more publicity than it
would have ever had in its existence. TAKE THAT!

You must be indigen then.
I wasn't comparing the initial actions, but
the rate between action and reaction: (buildings
down -> 2 countries "freed") compared
to (dick flashed -> apologies, expulsion and
suit for affecting college reputation).
I didn't read that the indians were expecting
apologies, only that the college director has
offered them.
Then the media made it a "diplomatic
incident". So, what culture is in
kindergarten here?
That may be true for children on trips, but this fucker is in
college and therefore an adult (one would assume agewise). He is
responsible for his own actions.
