developing Indian obscenity case

by Violet Blue on June 26, 2006

I’m fascinated with the way obscenity is monitored in other cultures, most especially countries like India, with their huge entertainment industry and (our) outsourced workforce. I’ve often spent fruitless hours trying to find Indian porn for Fleshbot, or Indian women for the times I’ve done Best of Babelogs posts. I seldom find anything credible, free or respectful… It’s just hard to find. I wonder why? So I’ve been watching the “wardrobe malfunction” hoo-hah that’s been brewing since “Bollyqueen” and model Carol Gracias lost her top during India Lakme Fashion Week last April. Now it seems that there will be a court and police investigation into the matter, with possible charges being filed. It wasn’t just Gracias who had some skin on display, but also model/actress Gauhar Khan. So for fun, I trolled and came up with the sexy pic at right and two videos of the wardrobe malfunctions, after the jump. Like the superbowl nip slip (and the insane new FCC fines imposed for “indecency” — tenfold — where *does* that money go?), it’s hard to believe this is all such a big deal.
