CRAP Research surrounded by controversies
From our special correspondent
Blogspace, 8th Dec, 2007: Controversies surround the latest CRAP (Chabs' Research and Publications) research on human's long-term relationships, "Love Marriage vs Arrange Marriage vs Live-in? The final showdown". There has been wide speculation that the research findings have already been rigged by the country's top matrimonial sites. These sites are reportedly paying huge amount of money to CRAP to get a finding which will be more favorable to arrange marriage - a scenario which is important to the sustainability of these sites. It may be worth mentioning that BrokenNews.com was the first one to reveal this news.
This has seriously affected the share price of CRAP which was seen to go down by as much as 25% from last week's closing price. Fearing another Enron-like scenario, Mr. Chabs, Chairman and CEO of CRAP, said, "The allegation is crap. We, at CRAP, will not stoop to such craps. We've a long-standing record of outstanding ethical practice. After all, 90% of our bright MBA minds are hired from the most ethical B-school in the country. They had a whole term of a full credit course on Business Ethics. After undergoing such a rigorous course, no person can be unethical. As we say in CRAP, CRAP is Business Ethics, Business Ethics is CRAP. The two are synonymous." After the chairman's press release, share price started to regain and closed below about 5% from last week's closing price.
Gay right activists protests CRAP research
In another unrelated news, GULABI (Gays Unite Lesbians Association of Blogspace, India) activists were seen shouting slogans before CRAP's headquarter office. Their main grievance was that CRAP's research was only for heterosexuals and so is unfair to them. One GULABI activist (sex unknown) told our special correspondent, "We demand equal rights. With CRAP's research, they are assuming love and marriages and live-ins happen to heterosexuals only. This is so unfair. I thought a reputed and socially responsible company like CRAP will be more sensitive to our cause."
After about an hour of shouting and protesting, a CRAP personnel was seen coming out and took the leaders of GULABI to talk with CRAP's management. When they came out about an hour later, the protest was finally disbanded. Mr. Reshma Pandey, Secy, GULABI, told our special correspondent, "We'd a talk with CRAP's top management and it was a clear cut misunderstanding from our part. They have made it abundantly clear to us that they support our cause." With no way of prying out more information from Mr. Pandey and with threatening looks from sari clad tall activists, our special correspondent got hold of a CRAP spokeswoman. This is what she has to say, "GULABI's concern has been fully considered and taken care of by our GALAXY wing. CRAP has a long-standing history of CSR, and it's our responsibility to take care of each and every member representing our society. As we say in CRAP, CRAP is CSR and CSR is CRAP. The two are synonymous."
