Note to vacationers to India -- do not share a stage kiss with a Bollywood starlet
 
"The judge watched a video recording of Gere kissing Shetty and found him guilty of violating Indian laws against public obscenity, the lawyer, Poonam Chand Bhandari, said.

Groups of men had burned and kicked straw effigies of Gere and Shetty in sporadic protests across the country after newspapers published the picture of the kiss on their front pages and TV channels aired visuals of the event."


I wonder if the newspapers and TV stations in question will also be reprimanded for displaying such an 'obscene' act...

Hinduism is obviously a religion of violence.

Vishnu and his friends reject your assertion.

So does this mean he isn't going to be on The Daily Show tonight, as scheduled?
 
Is the daily show filmed in India? If not, he'll probably be there.

Unless, of course, India gets an extradition order for him.

How does India feel about gerbils and public displays of affection?

Poor Richard Gere. You'd think you could trust a gerbil to keep his damn yap shut.
 
Funny... When Adrien Brody plunges his tongue down Halle Berry's throat at the Oscars, everybody thought it was spontaneous and funny...

Everybody except Halle Berry.

If memory serves, she was a really good sport about it... What he did was 100X more inappropriate than what Gere did...
 
She was a good sport. Doesn't mean she thought it was funny at the moment he attacked her lips, though.;)

And Gere just kissed this actress on the cheek. Imagine the uproar if her kissed her lips or, gasp, honked her boobie.
 
I think Halle knew better than to let it upstage the Oscars. She also knew she would look a lot classier if she took the high road...

"I knew you'd come back to me Richard. That Indian ***** meant NOTHING to you. I can forgive and forget, I mated with at least 50 of my cagemates today and got a wicked hummer on the mouse wheel.

"Let's get naked ... just like old times! You get the Crisco, I'll go brush and sharpen my teeth."
