SRK

Let me say straight-away that I used to think SRK (or Shahrukh Khan for those of you who are either not Indian or extremely slow on the uptake) is a douche. Let me tell you why. He’s earned pots and pots of money already - the jury is still out on whether its 12 or 13 of his subsequent generations that won’t have to LIFT A FINGER, that’s the kind of wealth we’re talking about. (Note: this probably still pales in comparison with some of our more industrious politicians.) So why oh why, does he still spend so much time on our TV sets telling us that the regular use of Emami Fair and Lovely cream will make our lives immensely better?!

The sheer stupidity of fairness creams may shock readers who are unfamiliar with Indian culture and its over-arching desire to be fair and thus beautiful. But that a man with a decent education and an IQ of more than 27 could want to further stretch his otherwise bulging coffers to endorse such a product is astounding!

And that’s not where it ends. He would have us believe that the use of Cello Gel pens will single-handedly (pun intended!) eliminate all problems from the life of its users!

Why? Why all you multitudes of SRK fans, why?

And then the answer hit me. Between the isanely inane ads and the whole ruckus of That Movie he managed to stay on our poor television screens approx. 26/7. With me till now? So most of you clever clogs thought it was all just a publicity stunt for the movie – that the whole Shiv Sena stuff was all a fix. But I reckon, there’s more to it. He’s finally figured he can’t be acting as a 25 year old dreamy stud anymore (yuck, did I just say that?!). So what’s the next logical step for a actor who is past his youth?

He wants to be the next Prime Minister of course.... go ahead, let out those screams of anguish, better out than in...
