Update - Richard Gere Shilpa Shetty Kissing Scandal
Remember we talked (like every body else) about the innocent Richard Gere kissing Shilpa. Well, but a court in India finds it Obscene and has issued arrest warrant for Richard Gere. While talking to Jon Stewart on the Daily show Richard Gere said:
Me kissing the girl on the cheek was nothing. There is a very small right-wing, very conservative political party in India and they are the moral police in India … they do this kind of thing quite often. I do not know of anyone who has gone to jail for something like this.
Shilpa Shetty’s spokesperson Dale Bhagwager told that Shilpa had not received any court order or summons and was currently away visiting temples. He said Shetty had not done anything wrong.
What is there to comment? They were three innocent, natural cute pecks on the cheek. What can one say, when three pecks can be made into an issue in the land of the Kama Sutra? People should concentrate on the bigger issue of Aids, rather than this.
Under the Indian law a person convicted for public obscenity may end serving up to three months in prison, a fine or both.

Anybody seen the poverty in India? Instead of going the Chineese way and killing every child after your 1st, they impose laws that curb sexual idealization because they have an over population problem. While that law would be rediculous over here, it addresses a real problem for them. I think Richard Gere’s action was a self serving “stir up the bee hive” act so he could get some much needed attention he’s been lacking. Make films not controversy. NO, don’t even make films, just go away. Your time is done. Get used to it.
