Place: Ever so humble but no place like it, home
Got home late and tired last night so I just went to bed. The topic around the office yesterday was the Richard Gere arrest warrant for kissing that actress at the Indian film festival. Being a data processing area, over half the people are Indian so they thought it was pretty funny. Most of them were not aware of the "gerbil" rumor, and I just don't see how one can truly appreciate this story without that bit of background.
There are temples in India with carvings from the Kama Sutra on the walls. Apparently, this is all a manifestation of a parliamentary system where the religious right can complain loud enough to get an arrest warrant, but the case gets dismissed the second it enters the court. No word on the gerbil statutes, though.
It made me wonder, though, if there is some kind of Bollywood porn industry. Do they have some cheesy, signature sitar riff as a counterpart to the American wa-wa pedal boooowwww-wacka-wacka-wacka-boooowwwwww that serves as background music? Do the actresses denote arousal in that very high shrill voice, and do about 80 people just pop in and break into a choreographed line dance?
