Our take on Capt.Jack Sparrow...

Capt. Jack Sparrow is the name of a character made famous by not-so-famous Hollywood actor Johnny Depp, whose other films are fortunately or unfortunately not much heard of. This drunk sailor has given a ray of hope to all the damned drunkards that even their lives can be cheerful; that even they can make it to hollywood and burn down ships. After the release of the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy, the liqour sales in the world have gone up by about 50 times creating waves in the beverage distribution scenario.

The opportunistic Kerala government has pounced upon the country's decision to have brand ambassadors for different states; and have approached Mr.Jack Sparrow(nobody really knows who johnny depp is), who has wholeheartedly agreed to it if given his monthly quota of rum, as promised. Mr.Jack sparrow in his interview given to a local news channel has called for one Mr. Ayyappa baiju, to run for elections this time around. Also Mr.Sparrow advocated the rights of the drunkard community in the state and chided the government for quelling their request for reservation in public and private sectors. How can they show such distaste to the state's main source of income, the mercurial drunkard wonders.

Sources close to the government says that the aforesaid is not the only reason why this persona grata was chosen to represent the state. According to this source, Capt.Sparrow is a role model for the youth of the state who are known to fiercely denigrate the effects of bathing, brushing and other common acts of maintaining hygiene. Capt.Jack sparrow, as legend has it, has managed to survive on an island for 5 months with just a bottle of rum, which he very obviously didnt use to wash his armpits.

Mr.Sparrows appointment as the state's brand ambassador was supposed to be the state's traditional "vishu kaineettam" for its loyal drunkards, but the news somehow leaked and has resulted tumultuous jubilation by the crowds that gathered for rave parties on the every street of the state, causing major disturbance for a group of NASA scientists researching on the crater-like depressions on these roads for alien life.

We can expect fresh rounds of violence and strikes by the so-called rights activists and traditional saviours of cultural opulence of the state headed by Sukumar Azhikode. Wishing Mr.Sparrow a very fruitful tenure as our brand ambassador.
