Only in India

Newspapers and good journalism have gone the way of the Dodo, by and large. But this was still one for the books. Actors Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan graced the papers this morning showing their inked fingers to readers. In India, they paint your left forefinger with cheap liquid that you can’t erase so there will be justice at the polls – already an oxymoron when people only vote for the less unsavoury party in a sea of repulsive entities.
The cream of the jest, however, is that in the rarified world this trio apparently lives in, they thought it was perfectly acceptable to not only flout the rules by getting their middle fingers daubed – but to then show the finger to the world. The cherry on top of the cream? Nobody noticed. We deserve to be told to go F ourselves, don’t you think?
