Don’t smoke…STRIP!

The Indian film industry has been targeted again, by the now-uber-so-famous Anbumani Ramadoss who happens to be a cabinet minister in The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. According to the minister there should be no smoking and drinking scenes in a movie. In response to that, the creative people say that this means there will be no creativity freedom, I say, there is no kind of freedom left anyway.

Ramadoss thinks, that he’ll be protecting the ‘Youngistaanies’ of this country and no on-screen smoking/drinking will not make them wanna smoke/drink. Er, Mr.Ramadoss, I won’t tear my shirt on the road if SRK does, so why would I smoke if he does? So you saw Mr.Khan smoke in a cricket match, it’s his cigarette man. As far as I remember, cigarettes are legal to buy and to smoke if one is above 18, and there is no sign on cricket stadiums saying ‘No Smoking’ It’s a public place, he can smoke wherever the hell he wants too, as long as there is sign telling him not too.

Oh and Ramadoss doesn’t stop here, he says ‘role-models’ shouldn’t be endorsing junk food, like fastfood chains and chip brands. Okay, wait, so why don’t we ban the ‘role-models’ to stop endorsing mobile phone’s too? Because if somebody sees them talking on the cell-phone, they will want to, too and then they might get cancer :)

Ramadoss then says that he wants to ‘protect’ both the urban and the rural people by banning on screen drinking/smoking and fast-food endorsing, because the people don’t know whats right or wrong, and they get swayed easily, right? I don’t really remember seeing Shah Rukh Khan, burn himself with his dead husband, but thats still happening right?

So according to him, the government doesn’t want people to be drunk? Then why the hell are there more taxes on light-alcohol like beer super high? I mean that doesn’t even make sense does it? It’s as ridiculous as President Bush’s comment, you know, the oil-prices-are-rising-due-to-India-and-China. We don’t even have oil, dude, we import are oil! WTF?!

You know it seems so weird, after shining so much, we as a country are moving into this safe-shell, we don’t want to be exposed to true things, we don’t want to be seen, we just want to move back to our ‘roots’, you know where the sati and the dowry prevailed. The ‘Indian culture’ comes in between of every step we take, to move ahead, instead of evolving, I guess we are de-evolving. For example the IPL’s cheerleaders controversy, we can’t see some white people shake their booties and show off their body? Can the ministers be that jealous because they are fat and still have man-boobies? Or are they jealous because they can’t sleep with them and they have to go home and sleep with their wives? Or, and this is just a guess – We can’t stand anything which is not Indian. If Ms.Sawant was stripping in front of everyone, the ministers would drool over their LCD’s. From being un-developed we are becoming developed, in opposite world <_<

So smoking is bad for health and so is eating junk-food, but if you think it’s so bad, ban them, and don’t make the ‘we’ are a democratic country argument, because it isn’t gonna work. Like China, banned half of the Internet you can ban smoking. But you won’t, because you generate a lot of revenue from it, and seriously nobody would cut a goose which gives a golden egg, right? (You here = the government)
