Looks like someone besides Don Imus has stepped in it now.

They love to burn effigies over there, during the big brother Shilpa scandal they were burning loads.

Ahh yes all these other countries (besides the evil usa) with there conservative and morally superior cultures. Ahh yes so MODEST and classy! Yep ok. AS THEY BREED LIKE YEAST AND MICE AND RATS AND ARE PACKED TOGETHER LIKE SARDINES. wollowing in their own feces and urine and garbage and polution. yes very modest. But watch out behind closed doors they hump on anything that walks and produce babies with every ejaculation.
Modest my ass. 100,000+ humans per square mile is not modest. Only to rats I suppose.

They have no places left for wildlife over there as well. Its all becoming crops for the "modest" human population. Keep slaughtering the elephants! India is so modest. gee wiz. Gosh o golly. What an innocent nation.

That is just to bizarre. On the bright side maybe this will boost his ratings in Pakistan.

I agree with every word. With the green revolution they have been able to multiply incredibly over the past 50 odd years. Now food is getting low again as they have just multiplied up to the new food ceiling. Just wait until the aquifers get depleted (same in China).

Yep. It's a classic.

At an AIDS rally no less. How immodest.

"Indian authorities have been focusing on high-risk groups such as truckers, who have helped spread the virus across the country as many of them have sex with prostitutes during their journeys and infect their wives back home."
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Well, that's what effigy-burning is all about! Note the happy faces on the burners.

Anybody have a pic of a Richard Gere effigy? I can't find one on any of the usual major sites.

I wonder how Gere feels about being burned in effigy. On a certain level, it's gotta be pretty cool.

Well in leiu of a true effigy, It would be fitting if they used one of those blow up love dolls instead.

Courtesy of the novelty lovedoll manufacturing plant down the street. They make those kind of novelties in India right or is it China?

I agree with you too. You are a realist I see. Yes the land of Yoga and sustainability! oh all those wacko new age yogis in America spreading their sustainability and one world love ins. India is burning up. Oh they are so earthy and in tune with themselves and nature. excuse me while I go vomit.

Now lets all join together and scream how wonderful all these countries are! Well hell we are taking them all in here in america. Woman are in for a treat here in the USA. Give it some years. Brutality is on its way. Women and children get the worst of it as well.

I guess Rich should have stuck with the gerbils? Gerbils are not known for burning any effigies, as far as I know.

Anyhow, what's up with these Indians? Give them a telemarketing/tech support monopoly and they think they're entitled to an opinion, damn middle classers.

Good call on the Paki ratings climb, SPG, LOL

Gere acted like a classic "ugly American."

He didn't bother to educate himself about local Indian customs or
consider that while he was in India he might want to show
respect to what Indians consider to be moral behavior.

Gere was visiting their country and but he was pretending he was still in Hollywoodland, USA.
