Abs-olutely amusing

Take THIS, you…wankers:

Indian police forced around 200 people caught watching pornography to do sit-ups in public to shame them and keep them away from theaters that illegally screen smutty movies.

Apparently, police in Orissa’s Balasore district raided a theater that was showing a flesh flick. After collecting the perverted perps (some of whom were as young as 17), authorities forced them to work on their abs in the town square. No females were apprehended during the raunch-raid.

As if having to vow that they wouldn’t watch porn again (ha!) wasn’t bad enough, parents of the perps were invited to watch the public spectacle. Eye-witness accounts haven’t corroborated my assumption that these mummies and deddies waited for their precious sons with chappals firmly in hand. It’s safe to assume that asses all over Balasore were…sore…later. 😉

Police officer Sanjeev Panda said authorities carried out the public shaming after attempts to get theatres in district not to show pornography had failed.
“So we decided to crack down on the audience,” Panda was quoted in the newspaper, which also reported that police in Orissa planned to integrate such public punishments into their general campaign against pornography.

You can prevent porn from being screened in theaters, but you can’t get it off mobile phones:

The latest craze is pornographic Multi-Media Messaging clips, some of which allegedly show Bollywood actresses engaged in sexual acts.

Thanks Srinath, for the tip.

  1. I’ll probably be flamed for saying this, but incidents like these are the root causes behind the ridiculous amounts of rapes and cases of harassment of women. Keeping porn legal, openly advocating masturbation, and legalising prostitution would go a long way to reducing those rape cases. But then again, what do I know.

  2. Some say advocating just self pleasure might actually increase sexual crimes and I tend to agree with them.

  3. Masturbation, Terrorism, Global Geo Politics and Harry Potter

    Just another day in the world of the sepia mutiny

  4. Most of these sms videos are videos of brown skinned pornstars from america who tend to look like Bipasha Basu or Mallika Sherawat or whomever. I’m not dropping any names though. They’re either from South America or the pacific islands or of mixed races so they look “indian” enough to insinuate that its a bollywood starlet doing sex acts. Plus those camera angles look too professional for the video to have been done by a starlet. Even Paris Hilton had shaky camera syndrome in her video.

  5. I have to agree with TTG, without wanting to sound too serious – but he’s dead right. Although I’m not sure how you propose “openly advocating masturbation”. I can see it now…huge filmi-style billboards with young moustachioed men proudly grasping their Ashok pillars and ADVOCATING for India!

    If I can bring one thing to India, please let it be this poster campaign.

    On a mildly-related note, I only just learnt that homosexuality is illegal in India under section 377 of the penal code. Attitudes to sex in general have to change.

  6. Oooh and I wanted to add in response to anangbhai – the Riya Sen/Emraan Thingy MMS is genuine. I’ve been reliably informed. The harlot! I like her even more now.

  7. “I can see it now…huge filmi-style billboards with young moustachioed men proudly grasping their Ashok pillars and ADVOCATING for India!”

    Maybe they could even get Bollywood stars, such as Hrithik Roshan, to participate in the “public service” messages!!! (SIGH!) 😉

  8. Discovered The Jesustan Diaries the other day (a blog by an Indian recently transplanted in the U.S.) and printed out several months’ worth to read on a long train ride. Hysterical stuff. Anyway, there’s this very funny essay about “handy-handy.”

    “In Hindustan, we have too many offspring and too little wealth, hence masturbation is encouraged. In Jesustan, on the other hand, they have too few offspring and too much wealth, and therefore frown on the spilling of seed upon the ground. A psychologist acquaintance argued that for the Hindustani, child of an overcrowded and intrusive society, masturbation was a moment of retreat and solitude; the Jesustani, the product of anomie, looked to the gang-bang instead for what he could not find in his pitilessly asocial existence.”

  9. Make prostitution legal like in Amsterdam for all those horny Indian men. Bong boy, i was actually referring to the Mallika Sherawat video. I’ve been told some of them are genuine you can easily spot the faces.

  10. Hey the Mallika video is genuine, no other woman could look that much like her, its either her or her lost lost twin …

  11. I’m shocked, stupefied and scandalised. I got my grubby hands on the Riya one and proudly showed my girlfriend, but I never realised there was a Mallika Sherawat vid. I must obtain said VT, that girl is filth. I give good cash money!

  12. This is a sort of punishment which will work effectively in indian environment, by embarassing them in public In india everybody knows about sex, but they dont want to talk about it in public.

  13. is this the highest degree of punishment or are there any legal and criminal punishment such as jail and stuff now?
