Richard Gere, one of the most far left people in Hollywood (he is almost as far left as Susan Serandon, George Clooney, and Donald Sutherland) was attacked in India for disrespecting their culture.
Now you would think Gere, a rich elitist Liberal would be more "politically correct" with someone else's culture. After all, Gere PREACHES Political correctness, he just doesn't do it.
Typical liberal. Do what I SAY, not what I do! Here is the story:
Protestors in India Burn Gere Effigies
Monday, April 16, 2007
By SAM DOLNICK, Associated Press Writer
NEW DELHI — 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 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!"
The two appeared at a press conference in New Delhi on Sunday to highlight the HIV/AIDS epidemic among India's truck drivers. In front of a cheering crowd, Gere kissed the giggling Shetty on the hand, then kissed her on both cheeks before bending her in a full embrace to kiss her cheek again.
LOL!! Sorry guys, but this thread has tickled my funny bone...and I need a laugh right now! Poor ol' Richard Gere...he's pretty much a candidate for a special school, isn't he?? Heheheheh....

Oh my god! Worshiping satan? Have you been snorting the inscence while it was smoldering? Hindus are peaceful people. Can't say much about you and your belief. You sit there typing hateful stuff about a religion and culture that has not done one ounce of hurt to our culture and religion. So, they burn an effigy of Richard Gere? So, you judge the religion as satanic? Shame on you...SHAME ON YOU!!!! How dare you judge! BLASPHEMOR!

I'm not sure if you were sarcastic or not...but my post was a joke, poking fun at Nirvana-Guy and his religious extremist posts.
