An Arresting Sight

So, this is what all the fuss was about - so much fuss, in fact, that it has led the chief magistrate in Jaipur ordering the arrest of Richard Gere! The kiss, in the land that created the Kama Sutra, is considered sexually erotic and indecent - in the 21st Century! While most of India, including the media, appears to think this is ridiculous, the magistrate continued, "Whoever, to the annoyance of others, does any obscene act in any public place shall be punished with imprisonment of three months or with a fine or both." What is more obscene, this kiss, or being continually bombarded by the sight of men peeing on the road side, despite signs imploring "Do Not Urine Here!" Or the homeless kids taking a dump on the sidewalk (there's no $100 fine here for their parents not cleaning it up...) I could go on but it's lunchtime and my stomach is turning! Suffice to say if Mr. Gere finds himself imprisoned for any length of time, I would be more than happy to come to his rescue, armed with a cake with a file in it, of course, in exchange for a kiss!
