GOI talking about blocking YouTube over Gandhi video

Read the article by Times of India here....

Some stupid comedian from the US has put what I feel is a rather crass video, on Mahatma Gandhi pole-dancing on You Tube...I am trying to link it here...

The video has the I&B ministry in India frothing at the mouth...and some are talking about blocking YouTube...that is such a knee-jerk bureaucratic reaction...when in doubt take it out!!!...

Here is a link to the video or one of the videos by this guy...I am trying to link the video here but might just change my mind...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE9_sBZHu1E

My problem with the guy....there ain't no humour what so ever...its just the shock value and the crassness that effects you for a minute...

And nopes I am not bothered coz he is showing.... ouch...Gandhi with pasties on...nopes have no moral compunctions with that....but at least do it right...

But he will get his 15 mins of fame no doubt....wish the I&B Ministry would concentrate on more important things..I mean its a part of this guy's overall mime-acts, he does it offline as one of his routines as well...

And then again, you block YouTube, there are 10,000 other websites people would put it on if they wanna see it...

my point is...its no BIG DEAL...I really think we need to lighten up in the case of Gandhi....he was just another human being I say...
