Where is the gratuitous item number?

The saga continues …

Smoking item number from Portmanteau’s “soutalee” sister Manju, during which she reveals secret crush on Rahul. Then phone rings with Prem Chopra demanding money.

Prem Chopra : Haraamiyon, Juldee mere paise lao, nahin to Portmanteau khalas!!!

Rahul : Portmanteau jaye bhaad mey. Mai to Manju se ab shaadi karoonga.

Prem Chopra : Makkaar, Bewafaa, Gaddaar …

Rahul : Click. (Hangs up).

Floridian : Beta Rahul, tumhari gaddaree mujhe bahut pasand aiyee. Tum business world mey very successful hogey. Mey tumhe “Floridian Constructions” kee chairman banaonga.

Manju : Thank you Sasur-ji. Voh Portmanteau bahut slutty thi. Voh barabar meri Victoria’s Secret bra and panties chura key Rahul ko seduce kiya karti thi.

Portmanteau (in Prem Chopra’s adda) : MEN !!!. Ajee suno Prem Chopra-ji, aak kyaa single ho na ??

“All the organizers are doing by making scantily clad white women dance in front of huge crowds is to stoke the base, voyeuristic and sexual insecurities of the Indian male. It’s revolting and crude,” historian Ramachandra Guha said.

I agree.

More from the Telegraph;

“We do expect people to pass lewd, snide remarks but I am shocked by the nature and magnitude of the comments people pass here (in India)” cheerleader Tabitha from Uzbekistan said. “Be it a 70-year-old or a 15-year-old kid they all letch at us and make amorous advances. “We are living in constant fear of being molested,” she bemoaned.

Who’s crazy idea was this? Why did they not prepare the women for what they would face in that country?

If they had, I bet not a single cheerleader would’ve gone there.

It’s crazy. If I were the cheerleaders I would sue whoever cooked this up. He has put women’s lives at risk.

Disgusting.

At the game, the crowd roared every time the cheerleaders appeared on the big screen. “I wish I could wear a bikini, but that’s not allowed for Indian women,” said Bollywood actress Rakhi Sawant

Please, what? Will she be arrested for beachcombing Goa in a bikini? The only thing that stops women like that our their own minds and how much power they give their neighbor’s opinion over their life.

“We live in India where womanhood is worshipped. How can anything obscene like this be allowed?,” Siddharam Mehetre told the Press Trust of India news agency.

Yep, and I’ve got some WMDs in Iraq to sell you, Siddharam ji.

There have been reports in the Indian newspapers of cheerleaders complaining of sections of the crowd jeering at them and making lewd comments.

Really? Who would’ve ever thought?

Some TV pundits pointed out that the Redskins cheerleaders are showing more skin on the cricket pitch than most Indian men will see before marriage.

Let’s face it, it’s likely to be more skin than they will see after marriage as well! LOL!!!

it looks like these cheerleaders will be banned

This whole fiasco could’ve been averted if only a rep from Blank Noise Project had been flown to USA to prep the women on how women could expect to be treated in India. Then I wonder how many American cheerleaders would’ve boarded that Mumbai-bound plane?

You got it, not half, but certainly more than a few. I admit, I hadn’t taken the time to count thoroughly.

hmf, i thought books were going to be written about how real you keep it.

If it’s that important, I think I made that comment w/respect to commitment my belief in male-female equality, which is indeed the case.
