CNN International reported today that India's top court is indefinitely suspending an arrest warrant against American actor and humanitarian Richard Gere for offending cultural sensibilities by kissing Indian Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty at an AIDS Awareness event in April 2007.
In the immortal wisdom of Jon Stewart, that would offend "cultural sensibilities" in the United States, too.
Next time, act less like an American and learn a little something about the people of a country you've been visiting for over 30 years. It's easy. Just ask for a transfer off Ethnocentric Express and take the B-Train to Relativism because the Lucky Bastard line isn't always in operation.
