An Indian court has ordered the arrest of American actor Richard Gere on charges of public indecency. The order stems from a well-publicized incident at a recent AIDS charity event in which Gere repeatedly kissed actress Shilpa Shetty, antics which were viewed by many in India as disrespectful and obscene. A court in the city of Jaipur reportedly issued the order after a complaint by a local lawyer, Poonam Chand Bhandari (try not to laugh at that first name you dipshits). Of course this couldn't be another case of an Indian lawyer trying to get famous by going after a high-profile Western celeb could it?
Ms. Shetty, reportedly, has also been summoned by the court. Shetty rose to prominence earlier this year when, during an appearance on the British show Big Brother, she became the target of racial taunting. But Shetty's adoring Indian fans have turned on her after the Gere incident, and her remarks that over-reacting to such innocent tomfoolery makes India look "regressive." I don't know, I think India looks really sophisticated and mature when I see pictures like this:
Why does a grown man have a poster of Shilpa Shetty to begin with? A dirty calendar, sure, especially if he works in an autoshop. I guess he tore that down off his teenage son's wall. Right. And he never jerks off when he sees a hot-looking cow crossing the street either.
Honestly, I blame Richard Gere for all this. He should've known that he was in India, and would get in trouble for even so much as breathing on a woman he wasn't married to. But, you know how Americans are. So disrespectful of other people's cultures. Evil, thoughtless bastards all of us. Of course, if it weren't for our companies out-sourcing customer assistance jobs, half of India would be living on the street. Which is where the other half of India already lives.
