Gere and Shetty "transgressed all limits of vulgarity and have the tendency to corrupt the society," PTI quoted the judge as saying.

Huh?

This coming for the area that invented the Kama Sutra. There are erotic statues and art all over India (and Nepal). I don't mean in a porn shop. I mean public squares, walls, temples, schools, etc. Weird that they are angry about the kiss.

I thought India represented an alternative to neighboring Pakistans official authoritarian hypocrisy towards sexual practices.

When I was in Nepal, the explanation was that the erotic art warded off evil spirits and/or lightning, due to the spirits being prudish.

Some of it is quite...spicy (to say the least). And very publically visible.

Culterally, they are a very modest society. Not sure why you'd think that they were weird. Kinda like comparing pay-per-view porn consumption in Provo and the majority religion there as a cause and effect thing.

It is controversial for India/Nepal especially given how they are culterally doesn't seem to jibe with seeing that stuff. But, the erotic art is typically very old, and, a national treasure.

Can you imagine if the David went on tour in the U.S.? How many cities would ban the public from being able to see it?

We're a crazy society are own darn selves. So puritanical, but, such an appetite for other stuff too...
