I see what you see

Your papa dictates the terms, when it comes to watch TV. What if even you are adult and mature but amazingly you can not decide what may be fit for you to see on the TV. The elected PAPAs of India (Read Politicians) want to remotely control our remote control. Due to populist measures, they keep on issuing fatwas to protect our culture. Recently two TV channels were banned in India for showing obscene contents. Let me go in to the deep what is obscene or inappropriate for any one to see, listen, the skin, that’s it. What about baseless soaps where every person is at least having 3 partners and 3 faces (after surgery). All the soaps are filled with vamps, bigamy, adultery this is all OK, part of the culture? Above all almost all the news channels are more interested on skin talk like pornography by repeatedly showing graphic images. Actually we have learnt the art of living in dual standards. Saas Bahu (in one of the episode the word Balatkaar was used almost 28 times in prime time) is family drama and every thing else is obscene. I request Mr. Minister to ban all TV channels and let every one have the dope of Doordarshan (Better than sleeping pill). As per the norms the violence and obscene language also inappropriate for viewer than ban on Loksabha Channel first, this is most vulgar of all. Every market, every road you can find porn DVD's/CD's for 50 - 100 Rs. but that is OK as it is beyond control of hon'ble minister saab. You are most welcome to see what I see but if you can not handle it don't snap it.
