Hilarious

This was a comment posted in response to a blog post inquiring why India wins so few medals in the Olympics:

Simple explanation: India is the nation of geeks.

In our facebook profile pictures, I'm holding a sword, my sister is in a boat, another guy is buff and shirtless, etc. We all do this because it makes us look cool.

I also have a few Indian friends: one of them actually has a profile photo showing him wearing a suit while using a computer in an office environment. He too does this to look cool, albeit to his friends at home.

With such a culture, is it really surprising that there aren't too many athletes?

I need to find a boat and change my Facebook picture stat!
