The whole big deal over Gere-Shetty kiss is pissing me off

By now people on either side of the Pacific, Atlantic and maybe even those astronauts running the Boston Marathon in space have heard about the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) and the subsequent arrest warrant against Richard Gere for kissing Shilpa Shetty. But, if you have been living under a rock or in a cave, here it is...

I did not want to talk about this as I think its a non-issue which should never have been a big deal. But now the whole thing is pissing the hell out of me and I need to vent. I love India, sometimes I love our conservativeness too, occasionally it can be charming. But seriously, have all our problems been solved that we need to waste legal time and money on this shit? I am shocked that the courts even thought that the complaint was reasonable enough to actually go ahead and issue an arrest warrant.

We make movies like Murder super hits (for the non-Indians or the Indians living under a rock or in a cave, refer to video below - P.S. I am posting some of the milder stuff from Murder) and then frown upon a kiss on the cheek. Those truck drivers who saw the kiss live, did not give a rats ass, then why some lame ass out of work lawyer (I say out of work, because only a jobless ass has time to waste like this) went ahead and filed a complaint?

And all those Richard Gere effigy burning people, if you have so much spare time and don't need real jobs (like most people in India), there are better things you can do, like keep vigil on the streets, so no woman gets teased, molested or raped. Then you will be upholding the morals you so fervently believe in.

PS Other asinine PILs lodged in India
- Against cricketer Ravi Shashtri for eating beef
- Against Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan for kissing in Dhoom 2

I am sure there are other gems, but I only heard about the above two on NDTV :p
