The latest craziness was to vote for the new seven wonders of the world. A website, www.new7wonders.com (sorry, no link; feel free to type it out yourself or cut-paste) popped up out of nowhere and in spite of having no affiliation with UNESCO or any reputed historic preservation authority claimed to rework the seven wonders list. The media all across the world lapped it all up willingly with the Indian media not too far behind. I was surprised to see even otherwise sensible bloggers fall in this trap. To be fair, even Ash fell into the trap at DesiPundit. [...] [...] Finally, I can look forward to opening emails from long-forgotten friends without having to fear that chain-letter craziness.

What I meant was the scheme and the company promoting this so-called 7 wonders of the world is a total fraud which has no connections with the United Nations or any other official body. The only reason why our tv channels are promoting this is because of the money they get through sms polls. In fact, the company has a 60:40 revenue sharing agreement with all the tv channels.
