As expected :D Top political agenda: ban IPL cheerleaders New Delhi: To cheer or not to cheer — that's the big debate Maharashtra's politicians are grappling with. The state government has put restrictions, and may even consider a ban on cheerleaders performing in stadiums where Indian Premiere League matches are being held. All this after Opposition MLAs had created a hue and cry over the cheerleaders saying they degraded Indian culture.

A bunch of idiots....the most corrupt people taking charge of Indian culture. Bloody bastards.

No cheerleaders for IPL matches in Mumbai The skimpily-clad, beaming cheerleaders — who have been victims of propositions and obscenities — will have to skip the Indian Premier League matches held in Navi Mumbai. So the police have decided.Beginning this Sunday, when Mumbai plays Hyderabad, five IPL matches will be played at the D.Y. Patil stadium in Nerul, and none of them will see any cheerleaders.

Cheerleaders are going to be there....the official line is that "if they are too vulgar, the organisers have to pay for it"....so keep the hopes :-)

dont need them i think it looks real cheap and crass...it doesnt suit our identity...maybe its the way the admins. have packaged it, especially going with cheap white women because of brown infatuation with 'gora maal' which is a purely sexual thought however, in american sports, cheerleaders aren't looked at in that kind of a way

had it been desi Cheerleaders I dont think it would have created any controversy

if salman were to perform his trademark shirt less number at one of the IPL games would that also be considered vulgar ?

^^ no, same way in which men getting raped by women is considered funny...

1. Why go into closed rooms for sex if you and your parents are equally comfortable about sex ?? Isnt it far more advanced and liberalised practice to keep the room open ? Or better still, what about the living room couch ? I am sure your parents wont disturb you and would walk around you to get to the fridge

I should expect these kind of retardation from a 40-something single guy with very little experience in such matters. Ayways, welcome back. There is still a thing called personal comfort...nobody is comfortable to see open intercourse in front of them, much less if thats their children. Parents being aware of what their children are doing is one thing, parents having full view of whats going on is quite something else. But i seriously doubt you have the intellect or the ethical fibre to comprehend these issues...afterall, you were the retard who twisted my words from 'i have no problems with my daugther potraying an incest flick' to ' you have no problems with your daughter acting in an incest porn flick?? OMFG!!' Not to mention, as i pointed out earlier, your remarkably depraved concepts about sexuality and your 40-something years of zero experience in sexuality and relationships speaks a lot about YOUR mental inclination, which IMO needs serious psychological counsel.

2. So you want to put an end to the profession of prostitution ? It is the world's oldest profession...how liberal are these views ???!!!!

Not an end to it, but downgrading it to the forgotten fringes of the society like it is in the west.

Incidentally, the cheerleaders show can hardly be compared to the AIDS/prostitution connection...here it is a question of many ppl feeling that cheerleading is out of place in a cricket match.

The wide-reaching arc of this connection was the stupid concepts of sexuality Indian culture has and that is from where fundamentally the objections to cheerleading is arising!

First define what "morality" and "repression" means to you, and also define concrete parameters with evidence that "sexually liberated" societies are the beacons of a "moral society" in whichever way you define it.

Morality: 1. A luxury of those sitting in the sidelines without actual involvement 2. Set of completely arbitary definitions stemming in bulk from arbitary religious concepts Repression: 1. Prohibition on personal demonstrativeness and social acceptance of freedom of speech and expression- ie, beyond legally protected- it matters not a jot if legally you can say somethign but saying it gets you death-threats and shunning from society\

and also define concrete parameters with evidence that "sexually liberated" societies are the beacons of a "moral society" in whichever way you define it.

I don't give two hoots about arbitary concepts like morals. I only give a hoot about personal happyness and magnanimity of a society. As for concrete proof- western concept of sexuality is clearly superior, since the west has FAR less case of per capita sexual abuse, western society is FAR more pacified and at ease with itself ( You dont see a bunch of westerners burning down each others houses or going on a bender on how someone drew Virgin Mary or such idiocies that we have copied from the Turkish-islamists). In over 50 western nations that exist today, there hasnt been mass rioting or social breakdown of order since 1930s. The western societies (along with Japan) have a remarkable record of internal harmony...and if Freud and Jung are to be given any credit, sexuality is a big part of the picture.
