#2 OK. Sikhs on the rampage over what semi-blasphemous dialog. Can you imagine Christians or Jews getting this worked up over having their religion insulted? What. A. Bunch. Of. Savages.

#4 It's Bollywood. They don't make any other kind. So long as the actors (M & F) are gorgeous, the sets and costumes are gorgeous, and there is lots of singing and dancing, why bother with a plot?

#7 Oh, I can see how that would go over.

"Yasss! The Hindus, who both fathered and gave birth to so many other major religions -- Buddhism, Jainism, part of the Sikh religion, and some nobody's ever heard of -- would be both the doinker (linga) and the Mound of Dizzy Pleasure (yoni) of the body politic..."

The conversation can deteriorate from there.

#8 I posed that hypothetical to Indra Nooyi and the Pepsi board in an email. No response yet. Perhaps I should have grabbed their attention with more Fredspeak about Yoni Mitchell.

#9 "They pave Pakistan and put up a parking lot...doo wop wop wop"
