HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008

2008 arrived and How…

2008 seemed to bring with it tales of molestation from around the world.

Now I don’t want to be all grim and grave with the first post of the new year but can you help not notice the way the year started.

In Bombay, 2 NRI couples were pounced upon by about 50 youths who proceeded to pinch and strip the wives. Inspite of photographic evidence none of them were initially arrested as the victims did not file charges. It is only after a national outcry that 12 of the assailants are being charge-sheeted. Many times in cases of sexual harassment the victims are too traumatized to complain, so does that make it okay to let the perpetrators go free? I can understand the reluctance to prosecute with no evidence or complaint but what when there is photographic evidence?

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is watching, does it make noise?

The US of A isn’t any better.

A goat was raped and killed in Florida and animal activists, police and citizens were almost as shocked to find out that bestiality isn't a crime in Florida.

“The fact that this happens is unconscionable,” an activist said. “And it should be illegal.”

And ofcourse, if it is America, can commercialism be far away. A man in the locality made a series of $10 goat T-shirts for sale.

The shirt has a pic of a goat with the slogan below;

“Baaa Means No!”

Baaapy New Year 2008.
