Whats your stand on AIB's Roast? - Page 10

India is a great country. That means our paradoxes and ironies are great as well. They were going to remake American Pie' with Ranveer Singh in the lead. As you can figure, he was very excited about humping an apple pie or gajar ka halwa in this case. He's always excited about an opportunity to hump something. But the mithaiwala association took objection to the objectification of sweets. Our sweets are not meant for perverse pleasures they said. Which is quite ironic because humping towels is a popular activity in many movie songs. They just thrust it between their legs and go at it, all right out their in public. The towel rights association must be defunct. Which puts towels at a slightly better place than women.

But all this puts me in a conundrum. I'm now terrified of having chocolate in India. Chocolate is better than sex. Unlike sloppy lovers, chocolate never fails to hit the spot. Every time I eat a good piece of chocolate I'm like "Hmm. So good. Ah yes". Now I'm like is this OK for me to do? Are they going to charge me for perverse pleasures? I'm actually wondering if one might be better of buying condoms than chocolate. Well, I can't live without chocolate, so I know what I'll do. Typical diversion, desi style - Hey there look at that person licking the ice-lolly there. Go arrest them - thats blow job training.

This post is made of win. 😆😆

Yes I do understand.

But they get rejected too if they are frivolous.

Delays in Indian judicial system are due to many other factors. Not just due to such complaints.

Baseless or not is for the law to decide. Otherwise everyone has their own understanding of what is baseless and what is not.

All countries have cases seemingly baseless and even frivolous. Why single out only India?

@charminggenie

I personally ignored them. I have no opinion on them.

Ban is upto the authorities. Personally I feel ban serves no purpose as banned content gets accessed some way or the other.

Who decides what is a legal matter and what is not?

People have right to protest within legal means.

An FIR or PIL are anyday better than going out and bombing people.

This brouhaha over freedom of speech in India is exaggerated. Nothing but free publicity for an obscure bunch of comedians.

my stand/take on AIB's roast - 👎🏼

Because in any comparison our legal system suffers from massive backlog , we are constantly hitting the top 10 charts for most corrupt Judiciary.

According to a CMS report for 2009, it was estimated that at the current rate of disposal of cases it would take another 350 years to dispose of pending cases in India - this is why we single out India, compare this with our population to understand how much backlog clogs our system. We need judicial reforms to fastrack and for that obsolete laws like these must go.

A frivolous FIR will always be mocked in any part of the world. Period.

Like I said there are many more factors responsible for this.

Frivolous FIRs will be mocked in any part of the world for sure but why rants on only India here and tying it to the country and sensibilities of people here?

Much of the country doesn't even know about this crap controversy!

Too many sensitive people in India, I get that it might have been offensive to some but why take down the video? you don't like it? don't watch it 🥱

@Viva - Russell Performed in India as recent as last month. And his videos are online too.

Many liberals also trended AIB National Shame on Twitter.

Their choice.

India doesn't have to live up to Western standards of expected behaviour. Indian citizens will decide what they want or don't want. And so will Indian law. NRIs and foreigners are free to uphold their country's lifestyle, laws and rules.

People on this forum simply need an excuse to bash India and hail how those not living in India are lucky!

FYI no Indian news channel covered this news nor majority of Indians know about AIB. So no need to bash people in India.

Report buttons exist all over forums and social media as well. They are not there to curb freedom. It is upto the mods and admins to decide what action to take or not. In a similar vein in real life, people have right to complain. No one can stop them from exercising this right. Though the final decision lies with the court which gives both sides equal opportunity to present their case.

banning is not right
