I'd kiss it.
Yeah...the “Shetty” kiss. I believe it considering the source.
Gerbil alert.
I'd kiss it.
I feel better knowing that our elite entertainers are screwing up other countries as they are ours. I also take comfort in knowing that Gere is despised by India.
No Shetty........That’s to bad.
"That was a Shetty kiss!"
“He asked for the “media circus” to end and hoped it would not detract from the message of preventing AIDS.”
Richard Gere, master of irony.
Shouldn’t “Gere apologises over Shetty kiss” be spelled “Gore apologises over Shitty kiss” and be about what he did at the 1999 Dem convention?

Richard Gere’s arrest warrant outrages legal experts
The Times of India

JAIPUR/NEW DELHI: A Jaipur additional chief judicial magistrate on Thursday ordered the arrest of Hollywood actor Richard Gere for landing a peck on the cheeks of Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, triggering an outrage among the country’s top legal experts who called it a “cheap publicity stunt” that bordered on “judicial indecency”.
The magistrate, Dinesh Gupta, reacting to a private complaint filed by advocate Poonam Chand Bhandari, watched a CD of an AIDS awareness function in Delhi at which Gere hugged and gave Shilpa a peck, as shown by a TV channel, to pronounce that the act was “sexually erotic” and “indecent”.
Former attorney-general Soli Sorabjee, who is one of the most respected legal luminaries of the country, took little time to describe Gupta’s ruling as reminiscent of the “Taliban moral police”.
Finding flaws in Gupta’s ruling, other top legal experts too called it yet another instance of “hounding orders on frivolous complaints”. They said the Indian judiciary would become a laughing stock in the world and urged the high court to take suo motu notice of the order and quash it.
“Judicial magistrates should not behave like Taliban moral police,” said Sorabjee. He said the magistrate, acting on an attention-grabbing complaint, had completely overlooked the “clear distinction between obscenity and vulgarity.”
“The order is totally unsustainable and makes us look ridiculous,” he said. Senior advocates Mukul Rohtagi, K T S Tulsi and Dushyant Dave felt the public peck at the AIDS awareness programme was not an act to deprave the morality of the nation. While Rohtagi felt that the magistrate was “trigger-happy”, Dave termed the order as an act of “judicial indecency”. Tulsi said,”The issuance of arrest warrant is contrary to all judicial norms. A consensual kiss between two adults can never be said to be an offence.”
Magistrate Gupta found the episode objectionable and in violation of sections 294 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code(IPC). Section 294 says:
“Whoever to the annoyance of others does any obscene act in any public place shall be punished with imprisonment of three months or with a fine or both.”
How does a guy that is so much smarter then the rest of us, not to mention more worldly, get himself in this kind of trouble?
Apologizes?
He doesn’t get it. Jail time, man.
Congratulations Hindu extremists!
I saw a clip of the stupid kiss and it was more than just a kiss. He acted like he wanted to get on the floor with her and do it right there.
And stupid liberals like Gere are out there making America look like fools every single day. It’s a shame.
Gere said, “Lighten up India Shett happens.”
Geeee... Mr Gerbil, swapping spit with strange women isn't exactly the "prevent AIDS" message you were going for is it! Even John Kerry is a better gigolo than you!
His shetty gerbil is unavailable for comment.
What is the problem here?
He’s getting really Shetty treatment, but wht do ou expect from Hindustan?
India needs to lighten up. It was a f*cking kiss. It’s not like he bent her over and did her in the @ss on TV.
As a bhudist he should know that women are Chattle.
