This week's issue of the Economist magazine has an article about the car industry in India. The article is pretty straightforward, but the photo accompanying the article is not.
I was reading the article and thought the guy in white looked familiar, then I realized I knew the names of everyone in the photo.

Maruti Suzuki defies predictions of its demise

I have to wonder, did an editor at The Economist magazine intentionally use a photo from an SNL skit? The editors frequently will use puns in the titles of the articles, so they're not above inserting some humor into their magazine.
