Indian Outrage Over Kiss Kicks Into High Gere

By now you may have heard about the Kiss That Launched a Thousand Bonfires in India, when husband, father and human-rights activist Richard Gere put on a creepy public display of affection with Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty! PDA is largely taboo in India (in fact you'll almost never see an on-screen kiss in any of the Bollywood films), and the Hindus are protesting by burning effigies of Gere.
Shetty, herself, has defended Gere's odd behavior, saying it was only meant to entertain the crowd. This isn't the first time Shetty's been in the midst of culture-clash - back in January, Shetty made headlines after being subjected to Big Brother housemate Jade Goody's racist rant!
In the beginning, hands in pockets...
He makes his move...
Getting closer
He goes in for the kill!
Whether you're Hindu or not, that behavior was still inappropriate! Poor Shilpa looked like a deer in the headlights!
