India Presses Criminal Charges Against Richard Gere for Kissing Shilpa Shetty

The insanity in India continues, as here comes news that formal criminal charges have been filed against Richard Gere for committing “an obscene act” in publicly. As you’ll recall (unless you have attention memory loss, that is), Gere innocently kissed Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty during a televised AIDS awareness event in New Delhi. After which, Hindu fundamentalists throughout India protested and burned Gere’s image in effigy. According to this, people filing these type of charges in India is not uncommon, and that “they add to a backlog of legal cases in the country that has nearly crippled the judicial system.”

So remember, kids, if you ever come across this woman — no touching! (Even though she sure looks damn tempting…)
