He didn't see her as a country, he saw her as a person. There's no way he could have predicted this would happen.

"The kiss prompted crowds to burn effigies of Richard Gere."

At least some good came of this terrible tragedy to the moral sensibilities of the Indian people....

1) Indian extremists are the most jobless people in the world. Its best to ignore them and hope they will go away.
2) What is acceptable in Indian cinema and television is all of a sudden a culture shock if done in an aids awareness campaign? Bullsh*t.
3) The media should try and spread more Aids awareness.

Shilpa Shetty is none of the above.

we should outsource more jobs to them, obviously the lawyers aren't getting any. desperate attempt indeed.

Gere's really starting to show his age......

Gere's brother is a regular at my ex mother-in-laws bar here in SC. They are extremely estranged.

OMG a kiss! :laugh: What if she got pregnant?!

After reading all the YAGT threads on ATOT, it wouldn't surprise me if there were some that believed that.

He'd been dying his hair for a long time and now just lets it go gray. A gf of mine saw him in the airport once (she worked there) and he was extremely rude to her.

I'd nob her.

And I was just watching a porn clip of a smoking Indian girl last night. Ok, TMI.

No, it's not enough information. Name of movie please.

This small clip does not have the movie title or the actress name unfortunately. Of course, why would I care for such mundane details?

It's a good thing he left his gerbil at home.

hollywood kisses bollywood...

LOL, found out this yesterday...so funny. Its the extremists and conservative party in India that is trying to make this such a big deal.

 

[maziwanka]

god forbid all the f-ing idiotic men in india get their panties in a bunch when the pure image of their beloved indian actress is tarnished by kisses from a white man in America (especially when there's no problem with kissing in movies or tv in india)

 

[compuwiz1]

Like anyone in India can really do anything about it.

I remember a big Indian movie that came out a few years ago (cant remember the name), but it was the first movie in which there was a kissing scene. Sparked a huge controversy over there.

Yeah, forward that to me as well.

Just because it isn't a big deal here doesn't mean it shouldn't be a big deal over there.

"An obscene act!" I thought this was a modern democratic state in the heart of south asia? I thought wrong!

I can imagine that India or some people who live in India may have different standards in what they consider to be obscene than you do.
