I keep hearing people here using the word "Democracy" synonymously with "freedom". As in, "Hey, it's a democratic country, I can do whatever I want." Umm, to quote Mr. Montoya, I don't think it means what you think it means.
Check out the way the "bad guy" uses it in this ad:

That brings me to this SMS soliciting. You cannot turn on the TV these days without seeing some sort of "send an sms with your response". There are talent shows where you can vote for your favorite candidate. Then there are quizzes during movies where they ask trivia questions related to the movie, where if you are correct, you could win a big prize. The problem is, the questions are insanely obvious, like "Who is Chiranjeevi's brother? a. Pawan Kalyan or b. George Bush" So all these suckers (if they haven't learned yet) think they are the only ones who know the answer and punch in the answer.
Turns out, these special SMS's cost about three times what a regular SMS does. So all these TV channels cash in big time from all these idiots. Make a deal with the providers and even if you get only 25% of the take, you're making a killing. It's insane.
