Backdrop: Auction of players by 8 franchisees of the Indian Premier League.
And the title of the post is the QOTD at CNN-IBN.
News channels have gone into a swoon ever since the news broke and will remain so, for at least the next 24 hours. Perhaps the question is to know whether the public too is as mad as the media is about numbers that are prefixed by a currency name and suffixed by crores or millions or billions. Or perhaps the channel feels that this big money is THE BEST thing that happened to Indian cricket. How on earth would one dare to trivialize decades of momentous achievements of Indian cricket by comparing those achievements to a mere free market auction?!
Respectable News media, continue to run after Preity or SRK or some poor icon to capture an 'exclusive' footage of 'some parts' of them. At least, please exercise some care while framing QOTD so that you do not betray your crass thoughts.
PS: FWIW, when I answered 'No' to see the results, 'Yes' was 46% and 'No' was 54%. It appears that the channel has good number of like-minded company!
