Gandhi flip flops sold on Amazon cause anger in India

[bigheadfred]

Flip flops depicting Mahatma Gandhi have been removed from sale on Amazon after they caused anger in India.

The row comes days after the online retailer apologised for selling doormats featuring the Indian flag.

Gandhi, who campaigned for independence from Britain, is widely revered and known as the Father of the Nation.

The Indian embassy in Washington had been told to tell Amazon US to respect Indian feelings, a foreign ministry spokesman was quoted as saying.

What is that saying about walking a mile on someone else's shoes?

I know, right?

Mahatma Gandhi was a peculiar person. He walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that his feet became quite thick and hard. He often went on hunger strikes, and even when he wasn't on a hunger strike, he did not eat much and became quite thin and frail. He also was a very spiritual person. Finally, because he didn't eat much and when he did his diet was peculiar, he developed very bad breath. He became known as a super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
