In case you are wondering who is responsible for the daily exploitations that go on in India’s large underground porn film biz, it is morons like these. Holy? Films? Get a grip.

The public doesn’t want vulgar films. Have you ever heard of a morcha taken out because the CBFC has cut scenes?

No, the public are too busy ignoring you wholesale, Mr Trivedi, and attending morning shows in Delhi (and quite a few other places, I imagine). They are busy renting out VCDs resulting from shoots like these. There must be a demand for these somewhere, hmm?

There are two ways that a government can react to things that are popular but taboo (marijuana, alcohol, porn — it doesn’t matter): wipe it out in its entirety, or legalize and regulate it. We’ve tried the ‘wipe out’ model with drugs and prohibition, and we know how well those worked. At least with tobacco, there is regulation and an income stream to the national exchequer. But yes, this is India, we don’t talk about sex, we reached a population of 1e9+ through binary fission; and censors who propose (sacrilege!) a “no cuts only classification” policy are hounded out of office. Dumb!
