Just in case you thought we were joking, or that it was some sort of a hoax, well, here it is:
The Virgin Group founder, British business magnate Richard Branson put on lipstick, had his legs shaved and squeezed into a red skirt to honour a bet he had lost to AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes.
The bet, as reported earlier, was over whose Formula One race team would be ranked higher and Fernandes' Lotus Racing team won over over that of Virgin..
As per the terms of the bet, Branson served as a flight attendant on an AirAsia trip from Perth, Australia, to Malaysia.
But he had his revenge by deliberately dumping a tray of orange juice on Fernandes' lap, earning not only a reprimand from
Fernandes gleefully declared after Sunday's nearly six-hour flight that Branson's skills as an attendant were "rubbish" and that he was being immediately fired.

There definitely appears to be a lot of, well, high-spirited revelry on Justice Markandey Katju's Twitter timeline as we type, and if the account has been hacked, it is certainly by someone as fond of Urdu shaayarii as the good judge.
It's all happening there with the Twitter handle @mkatju insisting that the account had not been compromised and to enjoy the poetry ("What is wrong with you guys And don't you have any poetic sense?"). So who are we to argue?

Yes, this is a photo-shopped image, but don't be surprised when actual photographs of Sir Richard Branson in drag do appear soon.
Branson will join Air Asia Group CEO Tony Fernandes on a six-hour Air Asia X flight from Perth, Australia to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on May 12, dressed up as a female flight attendant, making good on a bet he lost to Fernandes in late 2010.
The bet was over whose Formula One race team would be ranked higher and Fernandes' Lotus Racing team won over over that of Virgin.
Finally seats are now for sale from $399 AUD ($420 USD) on the special, one-way flight, and may be purchased online for AirAsia X’s flight D7 237 on Sunday, May 12.
$100 from each seat and 10% of all inflight sales onboard will be donated by AirAsia X to the Starlight Children’s Foundation in Australia, a charity which provides care and support for seriously ill children.
Earlier this week also, Branson was seen in a skirt — a traditional Scottish kilt for the launch of Virgin Atlantic's "Little Red" flights from London to Edinburgh. But for the May 12 event, as per the terms of the bet, in addition to the skirt, he would need to shave his legs and put on red high heels as well.

Sometimes, particularly after a surfeit of Feku and Pappu, evesdropping on Twitter can offer very pleasant diversions...

It's getting to be repetitive. And leaving a bad-taste.
Last year, Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki danced to a Rihanna song, after stuffing her clothes with towels, ostensibly to mock Serena Williams' shape and size:
Last month, Andy Roddick and Novak Djokovic had done similar, separate stunts with stuffed towels to mock the 2012 WTA Player of the Year:
If it was a joke, it is beginning to wear thin now, as Caroline Wozniacki was back again to repeat the stuffed towels routine in an exhibition match against Maria Sharapova this weekend:
The spectators included an amused Roger Federer.
While Yahoo Sports found the prank, "hilarious," and noted: "The likeness to Serena, you'll surely agree, is uncanny," not everyone thinks it is just a "jest" that should be left alone at that, others point out that making fun of the bodies of black women smacks of nothing else but racism, or at least bad taste.
Tell us what you think: harmless fun, in bad taste or racist?
