India is up in arms now that the face of its national peace has been used for corporate gains. Pen makers Montblanc have apologized profusely to the nation for inappropriately using Gandhi's face on a new pen. Sales of the pen have stopped, but not for good. Apparently Gandhi's great-grandson is not apposed to the idea entirely. His charitable foundation has already received $145,000 worth of profits from the sales of the pens. The foundation will receive between $200 and $1,000 dollars for each pen sold. If you ask me India, he was a great man, go ahead, stick his face on a pen, and do even more great work in his name!
