Oh, the humanity.....

These are tough times for Public Displays of Affection. First, Richard Gere’s public smooch of Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty in New Delhi resulted in his being burned in effigy and charged with violating local obscenity laws (I can see burning him in effigy for Autumn in New York, but a kiss?). Then, this week, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came under fire for kissing the hand of his elderly former schoolteacher. Actually, the Tehran Gigolo kissed the thick gloves she was wearing, along with a headscarf and long black coat (the scalawag!). “This type of indecency progressively has grave consequences,” fumed one Iranian newspaper. Progressive indecency, indeed. Next thing you know he’ll admit there was a Holocaust and concede that Israel has a right to exist.
