OddBites: B*tch Slap!

leave a comment »

My my my. This video I’m about to mention is causing a ruckus over the Indian news headquarters.
Can someone sense the irony here?

Mezba over at his blog, perfectly describes what’s going on here. Frankly I would describe it myself but I’m too lazy.

“Somewhat disturbing, somewhat funny, and politically very incorrect.

Dadagiri is a new reality Indian TV show on a youth channel called Bindass. One of the segments of the show feature contestants withstanding verbal abuse by a female anchor dressed as some dominatrix. In this episode, it seems someone forgot to give the guy contestants the script – they were unmoved by her tirade.

What then followed, the girl lost her temper.

And slapped the guy.

And the guy … well, you’d better watch the video.

I find it pretty surprising that such television shows now air in the same land where Richard Gere cannot kiss Shilpa Shetty.

Of course the TV network then did not air the scene but completely left it out of the final cut that made it to the air.

And then conveniently released it on Youtube.

Sneaky, these Indians. “

Not really, I didn’t. QGYH2 on digg did.  But who on the world would have known that this guy was on Google Maps the entire time! And sir, I want my money back.

I’m sure you know him (Google Maps)
