So much for “Western” “values…”
An estimated seventy Sikh protesters were arrested in Bombay (Mumbai), India after the offices of Sumner Redstone’s (née Rothstein) MTV were trashed in a demonstration against an MTV India publicity campaign that used posters portraying a young Sikh woman giving a male a “massage.” The posters advertized On the Job2, a Western style “reality show” along the lines of those that have plagued the Western world’s media for the past decade. The Sikhs were angered about media images that influence young people to abandon their traditional values. (In the West, such sentiment is often labelled “racism,” “homophobia,” “intolerance” and the like).
Hurling rocks through MTV’s windows and smashing office equipment, the Sikhs ran riot until quelled by police. No injuries were reported and all the protestors have reportedly been bailed.

[color=orangeWe have since been informed that the phrase “on the job” also refers to prostitution in the dialects of both the UK and India, as in “she’s on the job” (prostituting). MTV regularly and explicitly/implicitly portrays women of all races like this, dressed scantily and acting beneath themselves, to the detriment of all viewers. Obviously the double entendre was that Sikh (and all) women are (secretly or otherwise) whores. So double well done to the Sikhs!
