Hardly the sort of thing you expect from a diplomat! @Amit – Viruses can cause a lot of damage – they have been known to wipe out entire hard disks ;)

Indian journalists baffle me, and i am not surprised your disillusionment with them. I don't watch many talk shows - Jon Stewart is one of the rare few that i regularly follow. He comes up with some interesting insights on US and world politics. @Indyeah - You're welcome! @RDB - I'd say that talk shows by themselves cannot solve world problems. But people like Stewart and Colbert have tremendous reach and can play a big part in mobilizing public opinion. @Chikki - Yea, Stewart is a pretty good at it. You should check out some of his other clips at comedycentral.com @Kavi – I think it all depends on the impartiality of the host.

A person with good sense of humour catches my attention, I was impressed at how spontaneous his humour was. Everything Apart – I like their sense of humour, the ambassador’s and Jon Stewart’s.
