re: Protestors in India burn Gere effigies
By SAM DOLNICK, Associated Press WriterMon Apr 16, 11:24 AM ET
Angry crowds in several Indian cities burned effigies of Richard Gere on Monday after he swept a popular Bollywood actress into his arms and kissed her several times during an AIDS-awareness event.
Photographs of the 57-year-old actor embracing Shilpa Shetty and kissing her on the cheek at an HIV/AIDS awareness event in New Delhi were splashed across Monday's front pages in India - a country where sex and public displays of affection are largely taboo.
In Mumbai, members of the right-wing Hindu nationalist group Shiv Sena beat burning effigies of Gere with sticks and set fire to glamorous shots of Shetty.
Similar protests broke out in other cities, including Varanasi, Hinduism's holiest city, and in the northern town of Meerut, where crowds chanted "Down with Shilpa Shetty!"

STOP RIGHT THERE!........


okay, so it's not okay to HUG in public, but it is O.K. to beat burning effigies of Gere with sticks and set fire to glamorous shots of Shetty.?????? JUST ASKIN'.

I also support burning Kevin Costner in effigy. Just because.

It's probably the same philosophy in which you can swear openly in a convenience store (freedom of speech?), but if you're not wearing shoes or a shirt (symbolizing nakedness?), they can kick you out.

It's fixed now. I wonder if something just got skewed while you were posting. I've had that happen before.

what dew I look like, a kompuder pro-grammar? Looks like I'm anti-grammar. I just type and hit enter. I'm glad this image is all messed up though, I didn't brush my hair for this.

Woo, buddy. Your page is a mess! I downloaded and refreshed it multiple times before realizing it's junky wonky. I support beating the real Richard Gere. He should respect people's customs.
