"Conveying vulgarity in the society"

I hope nobody shows this Indian lawyer any American teenage sex comedies like American Pie or Porky's. He'd probably have a stroke.
A kissing scene from a movie starring Bollywood actors Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan has irked a lawyer who has filed a criminal case against them, accusing them of obscenity, he said on Sunday.

Shailendra Dwivedi of Indore, near Bhopal, the capital of central Madhya Pradesh state, said the scene from the movie, titled "Dhoom 2," lowered the dignity of Indian women and gave an obscene message to youth.

"Bollywood actors are conveying vulgarity in the society," Dwivedi told Reuters. "These films cannot be watched with our families, they are so vulgar at times."
Of course, this seems like an overreaction to you and me, what with all the sex and nudity we have in our movies, but maybe we can turn this to our advantage and get Sharon Stone thrown into prison for Basic Instinct 2.
