NEW DELHI (AP) - Angry crowds in several Indian cities are burning effigies of Richard Gere.


It's happening after Gere swept a popular Bollywood actress into his arms and kissed her several times during an AIDS-awareness event.

Photographs of Gere embracing Shilpa Shetty and kissing her on the cheek at an HIV/AIDS awareness event in New Delhi were splashed across front pages.

India is a country where sex and public displays of affection are largely taboo.
In Mumbai, members of the right-wing Hindu nationalist group Shiv Sena beat burning effigies of Gere with sticks and set fire to glamourous shots of Shetty.

I wonder if this stems from the hindu's belief in never harming animals and Gere's past treatment of gerbils?
No gerbils were harmed in the formation of this riot.
