Actor Richard Gere has sparked protests in India after kissing Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty at an Aids awareness rally in New Delhi.
Demonstrators in Mumbai (Bombay) set light to effigies of the Hollywood star, while protesters in other cities shouted “death to Shilpa Shetty”.
The protesters said Gere insulted Indian culture by kissing the hand and face of the Bollywood actress. [link]
What is this world coming to? Our culture is being destroyed, bit by bit. White men kissing forcefully brown women on stage. This, of course, means only one thing: White culture is slowly taking over Indian culture. At this rate, we will not have any culture left. And then what will happen?
Just the other day, I was telling a friend of mine, whatever happened to the chaste days when Pandit-ji used to sleep with Lady Mountbatten? At least they never did it in public. And when, in films, the heroine used to get pregnant only by rainy days in a forest, with the hero on the other side of a tree. This was significant of the one-ness of nature that is in our culture. But no more. These days heroines are running around naked and white people are kissing our own Hindu girls. Once again I ask, what is this world coming to?
I beg you, please burn more effigies of Richard Gere. It is imperative that you do so. Only in this way can we prevent our culture from being destroyed. If we don’t burn more effigies, then there will be nothing left of our culture. In these trying times, it might be hard to find effigies. In that case, burn a picture. But please do it fast. Otherwise there will be no Indian culture left. I thank you wholeheartedly.
Postscript: In the event that you need some inspiration, and if you have the constitution for it, you may watch this video of the ignoble deed.

Hey, you changed the headline. I kind of liked “shilps lips”.
Kind of risque for a Buddhist, no? The DL would not approve.
