This month, one of the most talked about topics on twitter
was the advertisement of a pan masala brand where one of the actors who played
the role of James  Bond in the past
featured. This set the twitterati abuzz. Here are some of the tweets that we
found worth sharing with our readers.

@KyaukhaadLega
Bond is now famous Pan-india

@rameshsrivats ­

Pierce Brosnan.

Played James Bond.

Endorses Pan Bahar.

Licensed to kill.

@NSDahiya  – Pierce Brosnan has got supari to kill now.

@ajith27  – Pierce Brosnan says the outrage has given
him much to chew on, Paan unintended

@Vineet_Nag  -I used to think #money is not everything but
then i saw #PierceBrosnan doing an ad film for Pan Parag paan masala !!

@navalmalpani   – We know india is getting ahead in class
when SrK endorses tag heur, and Pierce Brosnan endorses Gutkha . #PanBahar #PierceBrosnan

@Burman_amit   – Pierce Brosnan: “Wy wvem ih von, aemz
von” me:”What??” Pierce Brosnan:Spits Pan Bahar “my name is
Bond, james  Bond” #PanBahar #Pierce- Brosnan

And after the concerned actor feigned ignorance about the
true nature of the product that he had endorsed, the world of twitter had yet
another bout of laughter:

@jujvijay  – Pierce Brosnan says he didn’t know what he
was selling. Guess things didn’t *’paan’*
out as expected #paanbahar #piercebrosnan #Punintended

@iamranjandhar
Pierce Brosnan: ek Pan Bahar dena. Paan Wala: yeh lo. *Pierce Brosnan Gives 5 Rs*
Paan­ wala: Sahab 7.50 Rs. Ka hai. PB: dhai another day!

@news24tvchannel
– James breaks Bond with Paan Ba­ har: Pierce Brosnan accuses company of trappi
#Pierce- Brosnan #PaanBahar #Contract #ad

@askThePankazzzz
– Honestly, deeply hurt to know that Pierce Brosnan doesn’t actually eat Paan
Bahar. tired of these people breaking my trust again & again.

@ind_mnk – A
friend looking for job was not getting one, Pierce Brosnan (Bond 007) in indian
Paan Bahar ad only shows it’s a worldwide recession.!!

And here are some tweets where people are talking about the
controversial US elections where Mr. donald trump and Ms. Hillary Clinton are
engaged in an ugly battle.

@Elizasoul80 – I
wouldn’t vote for a woman just because i’m a woman, just like people shouldn’t
vote for trump just because they’re idiots.

@PetrickSara
Someone said my kid would probably grow up to be president, and i’m not sure if
it was meant as a compliment or an insult.

@WilliamAder – Remember
when we thought “any kid can grow up to be President” was a good thing?

@ericsshadow – I
hear all these trump supporters say­ ing they support him because he speaks his
mind. Well you know who else speaks his mind? My 4 year old.

@marlebean – They
say ignorance is bliss, but trump supporters don’t seem very happy.

On another note, here are a few that are probably from tired
young mothers:

@mommyshorts – Asked
to switch seats on the plane because i was sitting next to a crying baby. Apparently,
that’s not allowed if the baby is yours.

@LurkatHomeMom  – Hell 
hath no fury like a 4 year old whose sandwich has been cut into squares
when he wanted triangles.

@cheeseboy22
Kids everywhere are fighting global warming by leaving doors open and air
conditioning the outside.

And none of our compilations can be complete without quoting
the irrepressible Ramesh Srivats of Bangalore:

@rameshsrivats  – Board of Control for Cricket in india

– if you remove their Control, they’ll remove our Cricket.
and india will be Board.
