Sex sells. In any form. If it is a “scandal” involving celebrities, it sells even more. Mobile phone smut is an established phenomenon now. First the infamous DPS clip, then the kissing scene involving two actors ( it was private moment- as if people gave a damn enough) and now Mallika Sherawat in the infamous 6 minute clip. ( Google gives better results!)
There is an interesting insight on Rashmi Bansal’s blog. Titled as Phoney Videos it traces the origins of mobile phone “shoot and spread” culture. In the process the mobile operators make loads of money.
Typical of Times of India journalism, they are crying hoarse about IT act- in the process detailing what all clips are circulating! I really wonder whether this was required. We have had hacks of Paris Hilton her pics,her telephone numbers et al online.
Anything illicit or “illegal” would always have an element of fascination for the masses. I propose that lawmakers should turn their attention somewhere else. The celebrities need exposure- some are called as “motivated leaks” anyway.
Why even bother?
