Peculiar topic header eh, for Post # 264 ? ? ? ? ? Well, the post itself is a peculiar observation about the magnanimity of Human Imagination, something that leads the visual and cultural ethics completely into the oblivion, just because of some cheap (and I repeat a million times: CHEAP) presentation.

Rafael is a well known Israel Missile Manufacturing company, that have previously won deals by the from the Indian Forces for missiles. Recently, they have come up with a gimmick, a "Cheap" Ad to promote a missile model to the Indian Defence Ministry. They tried to mix up the Bollywood Item Numbers, but have totally gone over board with the "Cataclysmic Collision" of Bollywood and defence industry, marring the name of India in the middle.

When this footing was aired on HEADLINES TODAY, an Indian News Channel, I couldn't supress my zeal to protest in the name of my Motherland. The dancers clad in partly exposing churnis and ghagras supposedly depicted Mother India, with Bharat Mata's picture also in the back ground! The singer supposedly was singing that they gonna protect us! My FOOT!

Being a Commoner, I don't understand why a Country's Defence needs such spice, when they have to deal and trade with the gunpowder and nozzles? Beats Me! The Indian Authorities have acted against this, briefing that "...We are not at all amused and will be looking into the matter with greatest concern. We believe in good metal models, not the spring ones dancing there!"

The Video is as follows:
