The other

A few days ago we bought a satellite TV connection. After the installation was completed we were asked to fill in a profile form, so that we may get offers from brands.

Noble intentions. Except that the options to this question gave away the chances of any real good:
Q. Which of the following do you own?
A. [] Plasma TV [] Four-wheeler [] Washing machine [] Microwave… [] Others

Others! How on earth do we own that? Data collected so idiotically can only translate into one thing. Garbage.

The tragedy is that this is typical, not atypical, of how things are done in our country.
