Only Started With A Little Kiss
Back when I spent several months in Pakistan (see the pictures here!) one couldn't help but notice the editing of TV shows -- no kissing. There's Ward heading out the front door where June waits, jump cut, and Wards walking out the door. Gone is the peck on the cheek as Ward leaves for work, or returns home, or whatever, just as long as there is no kissing. Of course, porno video tapes were a hot commodity on the black market. At the American club, any movie involving more than kissing was broken because the staff had worn it out watching the same scenes over and over. But on TV, no hanky panky of any kind, and that included kissing, probably because it would lead to dancing.
But a Pakistani movie star wants to change all that (well, the kissing part anyway) according to the Gateway Pundit. She's gone to Bollywood where she can kiss, and by the looks of the promo shots, it's no Ward-June peck on the cheek. It's as sizzling as Karachi pavement in August. She's hoping this leads to a melting of the relationship and closer ties between India and Paksitan. I can imagine that most Indian men, after seeing the movie, are melting and hoping for an equally close relationship with at least one Pakistani woman.
