ಮನಕ್ಕೆ ನೆನಹಾಗಿ...

Two days ago, I had read this nice and thoroughly sensible post in response to the mindless banning of a (braindead??) movie.

In the evening I read the following hilarious piece of news -

"Jo Bole So Nihal" angered Sikh communities in Punjab and Haryana states because of its title and scenes depicting a Sikh character being chased by scantily clad women. The highest decision-making body of the Sikh religion demanded a name change for the film and the removal of the offending scenes.

And, now this -

There has been a bomb blast in two cinema halls in the capital today, and one person has been confirmed dead.

At least 40 people have been injured in the blasts. Of these, 17 have been taken to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.

Both cinema halls were screening the Sunny Deol-starrer Jo Bole So Nihal, against which Sikh groups had protested, at the time of the explosions.

No details seem to be available as yet. Is this a reaction by some religious fanatics to the screening of the movie? Or is this an act of terror let lose by some other elements that apparently are taking advantage of the situation?

Aaarghhh...!! Some braindead guy makes some crappy movie, and some braindead fanatics kill people who watch it!!

By the way, why didn't anyone care to ask for a name change when the movie was still being shot? Obviously the protesting groups would have known that there is a forthcoming movie with such a name.
