30th November 2007 :: Elvis is in the house

The deputy chief minister of Maharashtra R.R. Patil forced the closure of all dance bars because he felt they were not good for the people. With the cigarettes and other tobacco products still on sale in the same state, am I supposed to believe they are good for us? Oh! Wait a second, there is a warning on the pack saying it is injurious to health. I guess the dance bars would not have gone out of business if they had also put in a sign like saying “Watching our dancers is injurious to you”. Or may be the dance bars are closed because some dance bar failed to treat Mr. Patil well...or maybe because some bar dancer refused a favour...

BTW, if you are wondering about the title of this post, it is inspired by the comment of Pieter Pastoor on this image.
