Come, let's protest!


Can you find anything in this blog as so appalling as to protest against its inclusion? Anything that could hurt religious sentiments is anti-national or just plain ‘ol obscene? Most people would reply in negative. But a large majority, who stay at home watching the current ‘happenings’ on television would certainly spot out the ‘objectionable’ content. As far as I can guess, the common complains would be:

The generous use of the color orange is an insult to the national flag in which 1/3rd of the portion is of the same color.

The picture included in the first post is anti-national as the guys blowing the trumpet with their bottoms seem to be of Indian origin on a closer inspection.

The picture of the sky in the header is depressing as it has no clouds and thus symbolizes that summer will stretch a bit long, with no rains in sight.

Utter disrespect has been shown to the Indian deities by giving the title of ‘the gods’ to a brit pop band.

As insane as it might seem, I assure you that it’s nothing when compared to the farces they show on TV in the name of news. National and international news has taken a backseat and all attention has been focused on the new bestsellers, ‘How can they do this?’ or ‘This is so revolting’ or maybe ‘They deserve to die’. It seems that hyped, over-sexed and blown-out-of-proportion tit-bits are the order of the day as the common man (and woman) seem more than eager to devour all that is served to them. Are the principles of broadcasting buried under all this filth? Will there be a day when ‘breaking news’ will be replaced by ‘brainy news’? While I figure it out, try and find more flaws in the blog. I am sure you will come up with some ‘newsworthy’ material and probably feature on the evening special.
