Subject: Shocking

Yesterday the giant  Nasdaq screen in Times Square was offered to Pakistan  from 5 6 p.m., a peak traffic time, to project a message to collect donations for flood relief. This is the first time any country has been offered  this facility. Even Haiti was not given this favour after their earthquake.
The giant Times Square Nasdaq screen is one of the most high profile,  highly visible and expensive advertising mediums known.
NASDAQ estimated  that Pakistan could  collected at least a  million US Dollars by using this unique advertising facility.
And now the shocking part. The embassy sent images of Benazir and the consul general in New York which were flashed on the giant screen with no message about the floods. Puzzled people watched this giant image of this brown guy in a suit and wondered what he was doing on the screen.
And a golden opportunity to collect valuable donations and to project the plight of the flood victims was sacrificed at the alter of some embassy minion's sycophancy.  And in the bargain our dignity and respect.
The tragedy is that all relevant flood images were available with the embassy in New York as our foreign Minister had just recently made a presentation of the same there.
NASDAQ withdrew this privilege  shortly after, saying they were fools to let Pakistan have this opportunity.
Someone should investigate  this shocking event and heads should roll.

Unfortunately no ones head will roll in this country ruled by the corrupt and incompetent lot.
