It's certainly not worth my time to humiliate you on your 'critical analysis,' but you asked for it and so I will make your day. I have read the original article and I don't have any criticisms there, but please let me critique your half-baked analysis. Seriously, are/were you high when you wrote your comments? I will quote your words along with some parts from the original article and then respond with mine.

"The writer talks like this is a good thing. I am not debating whether this is good or bad but I am merely pointing out the innuendos. We can debate whether blindly following globalization is good or bad but that would have to be the subject of another article. If you have no idea whether globalization is good or bad, then this would be a good time to look it up and decide for yourself."

Like I already said the writer doesn't say globalization is good or bad. Throughout the article the writer states that he doesn't know what will be the true impact of KFC/McDonald's in Nepal.

 (globalise + localise) "(coining new terms .. I’m not sure journalists are supposed to do this)."

This is so funny I would have laughed if you were in elementary school. Just because you didn't know what globalise meant doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't. Besides, who are you to say who gets to coin a new term? 

 "(imported chicken – bird flu – why didn’t this ring any bell anywhere in this article? Is our Government seriously thinking of letting foreign fast food chainsimport live chickens from another country without testing the chickens? Why wasn’t this issue raised in this article which was posted in the website of one of the leading dailies of Nepal?

Why let them import chickens when our local ones can be used thus giving a boost for local chicken farmers and thus strengthening the economy of Nepal? What is happening here? Have I gone mad or am I the only one who sees the injustice and stupidity of such a decision?)"

Imported Chicken, ahhh, bird flu. Your brain, which clearly lacks any form of processing, actually thought they were bringing in live chickens from Brazil? LOL. How do you know they were not bringing processed chicken? Your second point of why not use local chickens is valid and the only thing notable in your ganalysis (ganauke + analysis).

Big chain stores like Walmart, KFC, Pizza-hut etc hurt small stores and restaurants and some communities in the US are trying to ban such chains from their areas because many people depend on such small stores for a living. I am not saying they are bad but they do have side-effects on the local community and I seriously hope there has been enough research done and backup plans made ready back in Nepal just in case something goes wrong"

This is nothing new. We all know big business killing local stores but hey it's free market!


What the entry of the brands actually means for the Nepali consumer remains to be seen,"for eating-out is still in a nascent culture here"  

"(it is implied here that eating-out is a good thing. Do you agree? Of course you have your opinion, and you should think for yourself and come to your own conclusion. I am merely pointing out the meanings and references that are hidden betweenthe lines.)"

Again the writer states he doesn't know what will be the true impact. I don't know how you come up with your conclusions but nascent culture DOESN'T MEAN 'good thing!' 

Garbage, my point here is to show you how you shouldn't nitpick on every word a person says. Sure there are subliminal messages every now and then but I think you went head over heels this time. This is nothing personal but your critique was an attack based on what you assumed from the article. I just showed what it feels like to be in the receiving end.

Garbagegigo's Gober-filled Grey-matter Glistens of Ganja. How about that for an alliteration? 

Peace,
