Refried Screens

Last week, we learned that model Vida Guerra was accosted by a cop trying to score nude photos of her in exchange for taking away her parking ticket.

Today, this story broke:

A star-struck Indian policeman has been suspended for behaving inappropriately after he hugged a top Bollywood actor who was released from jail on bail, an official said on Monday. Eight other constables who shook hands with actor Sanjay Dutt when he emerged from a jail in western India last week have also been asked to explain why they should not be punished.

On the surface, it would seem to be India’s way of thumbing its nose at unprofessional U.S. police behavior.

But it isn’t.

It’s a message sent to Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin that India doesn’t tolerate any sissy stuff like taking your shirt off.

Remember the sage words of commentator Kiros, who fully appreciated the impact of Putin and French President Nicolas Sarkozy shirtlessness:

Clearly, these infidels have angered “The Shirts”, reigniting a centuries-old geopolitical struggle easily recognized by anyone who’s set foot on a basketball court. Anticipate this to escalate into “heavy checking”.

Think really carefully before you accept a friendly game of pick-up hoops from strangers with accents.
