Wow. That's... is that a parody? Or is that just normal Indian pop culture these days? Kimmy tells me it's not a parody but a humourous, fairly mainstream song about guys and girls. Frightening to think that a 5th of the world's population might consider this entertainment.

It's like a boy-band: Team Turban,
with frontman Gurjinder "Green" Daliwal. He's so dreamy.

Not that I'm (as Jerry Seinfeld would say) impugning an entire sub-continent, but seriously. Come on, people. Wake up and smell the bicycle-courier-delivered coffee at the Bombay train station. American pop culture may have absurd, cringe-inducing sub-genres like gangsta rap and reality TV but at least it continues to churn out nuggets of real value, and moves forward fast enough to keep the rest of the world interested.

That is all.

But Jordan... wouldn't you agree that at least Indian pop culture has some sort of decency left in it? There's no scantily clad sex-simulatin' sumatra sinderalla in short shorts, now is there?

Jordan, that is possibly the funniest thing I've read all day.

I would agree with Gary, except Indian cinemas are now starting to show topless scenes and implied sex scenes in mainstream films. The difference is that these sorts of films generate considerable discussion and debate amongst film critics, moviegoers, and conservative groups in India.

Don't belive me:

www.santabanta.com... check out the gossip section... there's always some discussion about a scantily-clad actress or a controversial film.
