Presumably not a lot of women in India buy cameras?  Or married men?  Or maybe the culture is more progressive than I think, and a woman customer would simply pass the date on to her boyfriend or husband.  Although personally I&#8217;m pretty sure that if my Beauty were to win such a contest, she would not invite me to go out on a date with any hot actresses&#8230; or lukewarm actresses&#8230; or breathing ones for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>This seems an odd promotion by a company who&#8217;s internal policies warn against any remotely sexual context to any situation.  An employee could be cited for having a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/imgres?imgurl=http:\/\/i78.photobucket.com\/albums\/j111\/hlornmvhewslop\/6aab.jpg&amp;imgrefurl=http:\/\/hinducinema.com\/hindi-cinema\/bollywood\/katrina-dying-to-get-hrithik%2592s-attention.html&amp;h=498&amp;w=800&amp;sz=45&amp;tbnid=vMTgBle1eM0J:&amp;tbnh=89&amp;tbnw=143&amp;prev=\/images%3Fq%3DKatrina%2BKaif&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=image_result&amp;resnum=1&amp;ct=image&amp;cd=1\">picture of Katrina Kaif<\/a> displayed in his office.  But giving away her company as a prize&#8230; no problem.<\/p>\n<p>Further, this is the country that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/article.php?id=cp_e04169A.xml&amp;show_article=1\">burned Richard Gere in effigy<\/a> after he kissed a different Bollywood actress on stage.  So I guess this means that the lucky winner may get a free meal, but he shouldn&#8217;t count on a kiss goodnight.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Brought to you by Tim&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/\">-Read the whole blog here-<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kodak has announced a program in India where 10 lucky customers who purchase digital cameras will win a date with<\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\"><a href=\"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/2008\/05\/buy-camera-date-actress.html\" title=\"Read Buy a Camera &#8211; Date an Actress\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
