New Delhi: The IT whiz kids are on the game-attack again and this time it's on Ramalinga Raju with rotten eggs. Contributing to the series of jokes and caricatures on the fraudulent former Satyam chairman, the game 'Nail The Thief' has been developed wherein the players are to hit the face of Raju with rotten eggs as many times as possible within 30 seconds.
The game freaks can also have the chance to win an iPod by challenging any of their friends. Available on the website nailthethief.com, the game has already registered around 250000 strokes. Earlier a similar online game was created where players were allowed to hurl shoes on the virtual image of George Bush.
After the revelation of the frauds in Satyam, while thousands of Satyam staff, lakhs of shareholders and hundreds of customers in the lurch, many are having a good laugh at Raju's expense. Several funny SMSes, chain- mails and caricatures has been framed with Raju has becoming the butt of jokes. New words are also being coined such as Satyamisation, as a synonym for inflating profits, and Satyamised for those finding it tough to get a new job because of their current employer's bad reputation.
The nursery rhyme book has been reopened and the famous rhymes like Johny, Johny, Yes Papa and Humpty Dumpty making way for different parodies on Raju. The former has been rephrased as 'Raju Raju, Yes Baba, Cheating us, No Baba, Telling Lies, No Baba, Open your accounts, Ha Ha Ha'. The latter rhyme was reframed as "Raju Raju sat up on the wall, Raju Raju had a great fall, Balance sheet died, Shareholders cried, Raju Raju made a big fraud.� An SMS doing the rounds says 'SATYAM' is the acronym for 'Stealing And Transferring Your All Money'. Even old commercials were dug to ridicule Raju. An old toothpaste commercial where, Masterji says, "Raju tumhare daant toh motiyo se chamak rahe hain"(Raju, your teeth are sparkling like pearls), to which Raju replies "Chamke kyu na? Maine apni hi company ka paisa jo khaaya hai" (Why wont they sparkle, I have gobbled up my own firm's money).
