Religious Trauma?

A picture of an Indian Goddess-Yes!! An Indian Goddess. I do not want to get religion into picture. I am not an atheist and neither am I a staunch believer but this picture hurts.  India is a country which is multi-cultured, multi-religious and we worship so many Gods (right from Gods with elephant heads to people hanging on from a cross sign) but we never resort to such lame promotional methods.  We give due respect and that's it-period.




















A shoe store in Balboa Island, Irvine which depicts the picture of an Indian Goddess Lakshmi whose head has been replaced by some blonde female with slippers in each of her hand.  Care to ignore the plight?
