Ohhhh, she is so going to get stoned for this!

[Bethie]

I'm wondering how the population of India is so large.

The hamsters are relieved.

*valiantly resisting hamster comments*

but I'm thinkin' 'em!

[The blog reader formerly known as Matt]

Wyo, I've already given into temptation. Come, join me on the dark side!

[CJrun]

Welcome Wyo, but Annie already broke that ice *snork*!

[Wyo Cowboy]

*goes looking for a flashlight and a beer (assumes they're both required on the dark side.)*

back in 30 minutes.

[CJrun]

[oops, tbrfkam also!]

[Richard G.]

How many times do I have to tell you - THERE WAS NO HAMSTER. EVER.

[the gerbil]

I wasn't there either.

[CJrun]

*snork* @ El!

[Jeannie]

Was Shilpa Shetty a gerbil?

[Annie Where-but-here]

Gere's wearing a hamster case on his belt.

A story on the right says Gere won the 'Pudding Prize.' After the last few topics on this blog, I thought a little Immodium might help.
Oh, yeah, if you click that link, he's wearing a blonde wig and a bra.

Wyo,
Go ahead and bring a case. I'm running low.

[Laura Vona]

As funny as I find CJrun's comment, it's horrificly true. Somewhere out there, there are people who want to kill this woman because Richard Gere kissed her on the cheek.
I'd like to make some crack like "Cindy Crawford was married to Richard Gere for years and no one had a problem when she wore white for her second wedding." but, his sexuality aside,
there really are people who would like to kill this woman for this silly little incident, the femenist in me can't let this innocuous incident pass without stating, for the record,
there's nothing funny about that.

Out of all the weird India news I sent in, this had to be the one published. Anyway, I was thinking we give Paris Hilton a one week, all expenses paid vacation to India, and there's no need to buy her the return ticket.

[Eleanor]

I hear that, Laura. I'm just hoping that because she's so famous, nothing bad will happen to her.

[Brad]

Edgar, I thought you were (still) dead?!?

[Edgar Greenberg]

I'm not really Edgar. I'm going undercover as a dead man.

El, nothing bad. Something bad already happened. She had to kiss Richard Gere, and from the picture it looks pretty painful.

[TheGerbil]

I always wondered why he never wrote, called or even kissed me.

[Stevie W]

What a shetty thing to do. Hope he didn't get anywhere near her nepals.

[From another world]

Lets be clear - I think most people would demand an apology if Richard Gere kissed them. Just saying.

[Siouxie]

Dang! I missed Wyo!!! waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!

Stevie W - I just snorted coffee out my nose...

The most offensive part of this is that it indicates that Richard Gere still thinks he's hot.

[Scott]

For a society that has been deeply damaged by colonialism can one think of a more offensive image of a white guy grabbing a daughter of India and forcing himself upon her? It is so symbolic. It is right in line with the image of the white colonist forcing himself upon a country and just taking whatever he wants.

Richard Gere should pay the ultimate price for this.

What bothers me however is those who would blame Shilpa Shetty for this.

Too often women victims of rape in India are blamed for what happened like they wanted the rape to happen or it was their fault the rape happened even when the truth might be that the rapists brutalized them and they couldn't stop the rape from happening.

While of course Richard Gere didn't actually rape Shilpa Shetty, I still see this whole "Blame the Woman Victim" dynamic in place. From what I saw from the video Shilpa Shetty did nothing to cause Richard Gere to act the way he did, and was in fact as shocked as everyone else was that he would act in such a disgraceful manner.

We need to defend this daughter of India, not blame her for this white man's assault upon her.

Richard Gere, I think is a terrific actor bout he needs alittle work on his kissing technique. Do you think that his breath stinked when he kissed Shilpa Shetty, I'm not sure. Take a closer look at the video and if you can smell it. I think it might be scratch and sniff. lol. Just Log On!!! http://www.kiisfm.com/main.html
