Russian Porn Broadcast Sends Indians Into Streets
Created: 07.11.2005 16:43 MSK (GMT +3)
Employees of an Indian relay station are facing prosecution after they transmitted pornographic material from a “Russian TV channel” instead of a local DD-1 English-language news program, prompting residents to stage street demonstrations last week, Press Trust of India reported.
“Prima facie probe confirms negligence on the part of the relay station staff in transmitting pornographic material of a Russian TV channel instead of DD-1 on Nov. 4,” Doordarshan regional manager Man Singh Verma said.
Statements by staff members were being recorded and punitive action will be taken against those responsible for the mix up, Verma said, after returning from an inspection of the Kailaras relay station.
Residents of the town were taken aback when pornographic material was telecast instead of English-speaking news at 8:00 pm on DD-1 for several minutes. The paper did not clarify, however, what kind of material was shown.

some people simply aren't happy unless they have something to be unhappy about....
it seems a bit late to be having a demonstration."To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." - Steven Wright

It was probably <gasp> a woman in a bikini.

It probably has to do with their religion. As much as the countries in the area deny it and work to prove it, religion is culture. which pretty much means it runs the country, especially in the remote areas. (I DO NOT mean this as any derogative remark towards any religion of the world). Pornography is probably against their religion and culture.
As a side point, I read in the past days or two about a man who killed his four daughters in an "Honor Killing". It's sad that it happens, but that is their way of life. -
Maybe they are protesting because there won't be any more porn now and they didn't get to record it.

See what happens when you don't have TiVo?
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore.
