Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit disclosed that his pay for 2008 was $1 million in testimony before the U.S. House Financial Services Committee this morning.

Folks, remember Citigroup lost $18.72 billion in 2008 including $8.29 billion in the fourth quarter alone. And fired 73,000 employees.

Vikram Pandit also got about $26.7 million in stock (1.094 million shares) on January 22, 2008, according to the bank’s regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The greedy pig also received options on three million Citigroup shares, with strike prices ranging from $24.40 to $36.60.

Besides the hefty $1 million in pay and stock award, there are perks like the private jet and God only knows what else.

UK Tamils Show Middle Finger to Bala’s Naan Kadavul

Tamil movie fans in the U.K. have rightly shown the middle finger to Bala’s Naan Kadavul.

In what can be described as the ultimate insult to Naan Kadavul, even that pathetic piece of shit Sathyam fared better at the U.K. box office. Can there be a bigger disgrace than that for Naan Kadavul. No sir, no.

A mediocre film that’s not worth your time or money, Naan Kadavul will appeal only to fanboys of Bala not to serious lovers of good cinema.

For the opening weekend (February 6-8, 2009), Naan Kadavul had a pathetic opening gross of a mere £11,234, much worse than a crappy movie like Sathyam.

Naan Kadavul came in at No-32 for the opening weekend and had an average gross of £2,808, lower than Sathyam, Billa, Kuruvi and Kuselan but higher than the average gross for that ultimate kuppa Aegan.

Look at the numbers below to see how Naan Kadavul has fared at the U.K. box office compared to a few other Tamil movies in the opening weekend:

Folks, if you haven’t seen Naan Kadavul, consider yourself blessed by Kadavul (God).

The latest instalment of Incredible India focuses on the atrocities by the Indian police and starts with an Only-in-India story of the rape of a rape victim by the police (no typo there, we mean rape of a rape victim).

* Anyone who is the least bit familiar with India knows that many members of the Indian police are the worst criminals, Pigs in Khaki Uniform. But the latest incident in Uttar Pradesh shows the extent of their depravity. After a rape victim (a minor Dalit girl) was brought to the Ferozabad police station, instead of sending the girl to the hospital for treatment the local police chief took the poor victim to his house on the pretext of taking her statement and raped her. After an internal police investigation found the police inspector guilty, he has been sacked.

* The Hindu is reporting that policemen in Balrampur beat a  a Dalit woman to death.

* Drunken cops beat up train passengers on the down Kalka-Howrah Mail.

* A few days back, Indian policemen brutally thrashed a six-year-old girl Continue reading »
