Something that really pissed me off is the protests against Jodha Akbar. It's like nobody can now make a movie without pissing off a certain section of the population. As each movie is released, some community crawls out of the woodwork and claims to be offended. We've seen it happen with Aaja Nachle, and now with Jodha.
To save time, I have compiled a list of a few films supposed to be released in 2008 along with a list of people who would be offended:
- Agent Vinod - People with the name "Vinod"
- Delhi 6 - All the eunuchs living in Delhi
- Drona - The descendants of Dronacharaya and/or the students/alumni of Dronacharya College of Engineering
- Singh is Kinng - The owners of Kingh Singh Barbeq & Grillz in Ludhiana, Punjab
By the way, I must add that I ain't a big fan of bollywood and I like a total of 4 Hindi movies.

I was shocked at the amount of press The Great Khali got at the eve of Elimination Chamber match at WWE No Way Out. The way the hindi press went about covering it made me puke. I couldn't beleive that there were people who had actual havans to appease the Gods so that they can help Khah-leh (what the Indian Media calls him) win. Doesn't anyone know that the whole damn thing is scripted? Gawd!! And the nauseatic coverage, usually limited to the Hindi press overflowed into the English News channels . Someone actually conducted a telephonic interview with the Giant jackass. And what pearls of wisdom the the "hope of a billion people" have to say to his fans? Some incomprehensible words in Punjabi. Wow. What an inspiration. How gullible are our people? Please. I can't root for Khali just because he is an Indian. Call me unpatriotic but he is as good a representative of the Indian people as Shilpa Shetty. And, the only reason he was made champion was because all the main eventers on Smackdown were injured. The giant pain in the ass cannot wrestle enough to save his life. Please. Shut up. I request the Indian public to go back to watching cricket. Don't ruin wrestling by having "khatron ka khiladi" shows on India TV/Aaj Tak. Thanks.

What a sweetheart; you've not been exposed to good hindi cinema and that's your problem.
So you like all the hollyshit where America is trying to save the world from hurricanes, savages, aliens and some asian terrorists.
But still, what a sweetheart.
