Tendulkar book

[Sanz]

I am not aware of any mainstream religion that advocates blood worship in India, literally.

Animal Sacrifice is quite common in Hinduism.

I'd have bought it, inseminated my girlfriend with said spoof, and have a Tendulkar as a kid

You'd have to be really inventive and convincing enough to come up with a good reason for introducing a hardcover book into the usual foreplay activities

Ponting's blood lacks the consistency of the others.

I'm that huge she wouldn't know the difference

 

[Cevno]

Don't see anything wrong with it tbh. If you could have the same thing of Bradman I think there would be a fair few punters. They will become some great collector's items.

Use of blood in biographies is becoming more and more common, but its only a tiny drop mixed with ink. What is a more genuine signature than your DNA? And besides spit, sweat and semen, blood is the only real option.

And... blood seems the most attractive of the 4.

Agreed.

Only the amount of blood or even less then what is required for a blood test is taken.
And if this makes certain fans happy and nets a thousands of dollars ,what's the harm?


It is becoming more common these days and i think i read about some other person doing the same. Don't remember his name,but didn't know he was a celebrity.

Shane Watson would never do anything like this in his playing days if it comes down to it in the future. Wouldn't want to risk injury.

Ponting's blood is better, not to mention Lara's.

Discuss.

Ponting's blood doesn't circulate as freely as Tendulkar's does, especially in the subcontinent

 

[Craig]

Can I cross reference the stats of SRT's, BCL's, and RTP's blood on statsguru? I want to do an Ikki and post up huge spreadsheets, and say why the blood of Kallis in the 00's was better.

This isn't a book for the masses. This is a rare intimate collectors item that will give him a few hundred thousand dollars for a hundred mls of his blood.

From what I've seen of him, he is human but is not that money minded.

The article I read said that all the profits that Sachin was receiving for the Opus, including the blood editions, were going straight to his charitable foundation. I think it's very bizarre, and can't imagine why anyone would want to own one, but from Sachin's point of view, if someone came to me and said "can we take 5 mls of you blood to use in this book, and in return the charity of your choice will get a quarter of a million dollars (or whatever the exact sum is)", you'd probably do it.

Kallis' blood got too many of its red-cell count when circulating with the minnows, and besides, it's boring.

 

[chicane]

Sachin has denied the story.

 

[L Trumper]

Apparently the story is bullocks.. Sachin denied it.

 

[Sir Alex]

Much ado about nothing. He is not one to go for such gimmicks whatever be the reason. WAG

 

[Ikki]

With Goughy actually. Didn't think the blood thing really as weird as the fact that people worship the guy enough to want it.

 

[four_or_six]

Lol, good publicity stunt from the publishers, it has to be said.

 

[Cruxdude]

Am I the only one that read that article and thought the quote

"But the key thing here is that Sachin Tendulkar to millions of people is a religious icon."

is far more strange and disturbing than a bit of blood (and Im guessing it isnt much) mixed in with some ink?

What religion and who are these people, if they exist?

The quoted line is just an exaggeration. You may have seen banners like "If cricket is religion, Tendulkar is God." These obviously are meant in the same way as slogans like "Eat cricket, sleep cricket, drink coca cola".

Tendulkar is loved by millions in a way most people from other countries can't understand. How can someone not love this guy. He is brilliant, a champion and a humble, nice, pleasant talking guy who has not a single black mark on his character. That is all there is to it.

You have no clue.
