Holier than thou cows

This one set me crack- a -lacking. Authorities actually stopped Shilpa Shetty at Mumbai airport while she was on her way to Berlin for a "musical performance" (read, ITEM NUMBERS!) and "questioned" her in a "obscenity case" involving a kiss from Richard Gere at a public function. Mind you, this happened five months ago, and they stopped her at the airport only now? I don't get it. Shilpa Shetty, and all "two bit actresses" of her genre, have been involved in movie scenes you wouldn't want to be caught watching, or at least not when your kids and mother are round.
One swim suit scene from the movie Baazigar merits special attention, at least from me. Shilpa wears a swim suit that has such a narrow and thin line at the "G" spot you can almost spot the split, if you know what I mean. I wondered then, how ever it got past our censors. Of course, a $20 bill equivalent always works with Indian babus.
And then the likes of Mallika Sherawat, the 'item number' Queen of Bollywood movies, and of course, the bold and the beautiful Bipasha Basu, have set Bollywood screen on fire. There's very little left for imagination, these days in Indian cinema, and what's funny is you can always see kids go with their parents to watch these movies. In terms of obscenity, Hollywood hasn't seen anything like item numbers and "cabaret songs" from our movies. More explicit stuff could be shown in more decent ways.
Old songs from those golden days of the 60s and 70s have been defaced with current genre "remix" videos, and wannabe Item number queens are ready to do *anything* in those videos, *anything*. Where are these guardians of public morality while these remix songs, movies and item numbers are stripping children of their innocence, kindling lust in a sex starved (at least thus far!) society? Are we sure Shilpa didn't slip a $20 bill in the hands of those authorities to have her "arrested"? Hmmm.
