Sleaze Pleaze..
There's a song by Jay-Z which goes by the title "Can I get to F@#$ You.." which i am sure many of you would have heard. Looking back at the things going on in India, one feels that this song aptly fits the happenings there.
Firstly, there was the MMS scandal which "rocked" the entire billion people country. Whats sad about that was, such kinda things happens in every city everyday, but unfortunately, it came out of the Nation's capital with 2 11 standard students caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not too long ago, there was this incident which caught the nation's attention. Few of the President's bodyguards were accused of raping some Swiss people.
Last week, few females in the military were accusing top generals of soliciting sex. There was a scandal in Gurgaon with a female socialite and a Call-centre employee CAUGHT ON TAPE. Currently, doing the rounds are the "Casting Couch" craze which i think has made Shakti Kapoor and Aman Verma absolute scapegoats. Again from the film industry, Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor were caught on tape smooching in a Mumbai Pub.
The point of all these things is what....2 Minutes of Fame, getting revenge (as in the MMS case) or in some cases absolute pleasure.
If you notice, all these news died down a silent death as the Media caught onto something else which was more Masale-dhar than the current Hot Topic.
Shobha De in her column for TOI put in a statement which made so much sense. As entertainment, it's tops. As journalism, it sucks..
End of the day, only one thing come to mind..
