In the name of modernity- a Shameful act

When Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunctioned during the superbowl half-time show in US, the entire USA denounced the act and FCC sprung to action to stop these kind of indecent behavior to be broadcast live on TV in prime time. While in India, where tradition is talked up so high, has been flouted handily by none other than the TV run by people with power! Today they showed a full-featured sexual video in the name of news during prime time. These kind of act should be punished. The network should be fined heavily so they can't operate again in this fashion. However as they are close to power and in the fight to remain relevant as the entire entertainment industry is used in promoting the TV owned by the Chief minister.

When I was in College, there was a huge cry when Discovery channel showed the sexual life of Elephants during an hour documentary on the life of elephants. They objected only to animals, its not objectionable to show humans' activity in prime time. The government banned smoking scenes in movies. They showed this on TV because they were not smoking, they were indulging in lude behavior.

Shame on the these folks who run the TV and people who are in power in Tamil nadu. People in that state don't care as they care only about money.
