The Joke is on Whom Exactly?

Okay, now to get on board with the support for comedy against sensitive religious dickheads.

Case in point, comedian Kiku Sharda was doing a sketch on a TV show about a well known religious leader with many violent accusations against him. Kiku was imitating Dera Sacha Sauda chief  Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, or as I remember him, that fuckwit who did those nauseating, awful movies and has a large following of some of the biggest twats in the country. 

Now, I didn't watch it and am not a particular fan of Kiku's comedy. But I don't see how he could have made Ram Rahim look even more ridiculous than he already is. But some of his twat head followers took offence by the mimicry and filed a case against him, under Section 295-A of the IPC(outraging religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious belief). Oh, this was is Haryana by the way where most of the state government's political members have major criminal cases against them. And there are lots of other pending cases of severe crimes such as rape and murder that are awaiting police action. But lo behold, by unseen strings, they were off to arrest this comedian for 'hurting the sentiments' of some religious fuckwits. Now like any other normal comedian, Kiku apologized saying it was not his intention to hurt anyone's feelings, because he's just a performer, not a reformer. And he wants to keep his life and career intact. Fair play to him.

But the fact that they actually went and arrested this man for a sketch about a so called godman, who is a joke by himself anyway, under an inappropriate use of the people's legal rights. Another example of a good intention law misused by religious nutheads to suppress free speech and the voice of logic.

There is nothing in this world that should not be joked about, yes that includes the holocaust, given that it is in context of a situation. You will at some point, any point, offend someone somewhere with a joke. And that's okay, because being able to laugh at others as well as ourselves is what binds a diverse society. A sense of humor is the biggest sign of evolutionary intelligence. So, of course these religious fuckwits are in lacking of it, because their mentally underdeveloped brains can't process it.

It was however good to see support for comedy from all performers and reformers, through television, social media and more. 

Of course, I would like to point out that if you take offence to me calling some people religious fuckwits, you are one. If you weren't, you wouldn't feel the term was aimed at you.

I ain't no comedian or performer or reformer. I'm just an asshole with a blog and an internet connection, but I am always going to be making inappropriate and offensive jokes and I refuse to censor myself or not make fun of someone or something that strikes me as humorous. So fuck you if you have a problem with that, and have a nice day!

Fast X: Movie Review

Image
This is it, the final instalment of the Fast & Furious franchise that started all the way back in 2001. To be precise, it's the first part of the tenth and final instalment in the series. There was a lot of build-up around this one with various petrolhead circles making plans for group viewings. But I wanted my Fast X experience to be as unadulterated as possible. I did not even watch a single trailer and did not have any inkling about what to expect in terms of stunts and new characters. I did not mention story plot expectations because I knew that there probably wasn't going to be one, not really.   Everything from hereon can be considered a spoiler, so skip to the final para for a rating/assessment. The "Plot" The central storyline, if that's what we can call it, for Fast X gives us a flashback to 'Fast Five' (arguably one of the best movies in the series in terms of heist sequences). We are treated to some tear-jerking flashbacks of Paul Walker as ...

Red Notice: Movie Review

Image
 It's quite common for movies to be made with no plot, a cast of popular actors with loyal fanbases and a big CGI budget. Red Notice is one of those movies. Netflix has been churning out an increasing number of platform-exclusive movies, but it's now harder to find good ones. When they dropped the first trailer for this action-flick starring Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson, I knew I was going to watch it as a fan of the Canadian funnyman. They also showed Gal Gadot as a key character to onboard a slew of horny teens as well. The movie plot is a treasure hunt for an Egyptian artefact, a bejewelled golden egg and part of a set of three, known as Cleopatra's eggs. It explains off the bat that the term Red Notice is the highest wanted level in Interpol, which is a sort of global police agency. The movie then introduces us to a generically-sassy boss lady Inspector Das, played by Ritu Arya, who's chasing one of the best art thieves in the world. She enters the scene accompa...

How A Brand Image Can Be Ruined By Its Own People

Image
In a highly competitive business environment, the only sustainable option is to build a brand that attracts certain types of buyers with quality products catering to their interests. Or to put it simply, brand image is key for long-term success. Unfortunately, too many brands make simple mistakes that can undo years of marketing exercises and not even realise it. The one I want to talk about here is how brand image is ruined/tarnished by its employees and affiliates.  I recently attended the Indian MotoGP and due to event circumstances, my tickets were adjusted to a different stand at the Buddh International Circuit. Mind you, these were far from the more affordable tickets and had a lot to live up to. My new seats were in a stand that had been rebranded as the Yamaha stand with massive tapestries and flags all around. The MotoGP is a three-day event with the main race on the final day. The first two days, casual fans did not bother to show up so that meant the stand was at half-ca...
