Dhoni is massive and it wouldn't surprise me if this was conservative

You also need to remember that he is being used to market product to 1bn+ people in India and hundreds of millions of expat Indians around the world - that is potentially a ****-load of cans of Pepsi

Yea, I know how big he is but I am just talking about the exchange rate. I mean my uncle back in India has a full time driver and his current salary is about five thousand rupees a month ($100 USD...and the going rate is probably lower in Jharkaland where Dhoni is from...I mean in the nineties both of my parents combined income was less than that and we didn't live in poverty)..so $31million USD is a ridiculous amount of money.

Pepsi is marketing to the growing middle class for sure, but for the majority of Indian, a pepsi can a day is nowhere near affordable.

They may well have adjusted the figures for PPP in their analysis

Sometimes I wonder whether people actually buy stuff based on the celebs that endorse them. Or whether I subconsciously do it myself.

Yeah we do. Although each one of us individually thinks it's only other people that do it and we're uniquely immune.

BARNES OUT
I don't watch any television, read any magazines and have adblocker on my internet browser (except on certain sites who I frequent regularly). I'm not sure how it would even get to me. I don't think I could name a single product that's endorsed by a celebrity, except maybe NBA2K13 and Jay-Z, but I don't even like Jay-Z.

Lads weekend in Townsville going well.

Missed Burgeinho's 3-1 win including his goal from half way. Will no doubt hear all about it though.

Ruined this week

There is something growing in my lung that showed up on a CT scan. They don't know what it is and I'm very scared.

Holy ****ing **** balls. Fingers are well and truly crossed for you.

My dodgy back doesn't seem anywhere near so bad right now
