It seems the Union Cabinet has okayed 26% FII/FDI investment in the print media and TV news channels. It has also okayed fascimile editions of foreign newspapers. However, Indian editions of foreign newspapers will not be permitted. (why the hell not?)

So does this mean we'll get to read such fine, respected publications as The Sun? I remember sneaking off to the foreign newspaper section in the supermarkets in Bahrain just to have a quick peek ... on Page 3 would be some blonde bombshell called Mandy baring it all. Now that's the real page 3, not the kind you have in the papers here - where you get to see bludy Shahrukh Khan's mug.

Wot to do yaar ... shex shells, no?

Imagine - just imagine how many newspapers you'd sell if someone like, say, Mallika Sherawat posed in her birthday suit on page 3? Christ Almighty! All hell would break loose. US spy satellites may even pick up major disturbances coming from the Indian subcontinent.

"Goddamit Condy! Are those dayyumm'ed Indians testing another missile?"

"We're not quite sure what it is, Mr. President - we're receiving confusing information ... all we know is that in the past one hour there've been over 300 million minor explosions of some sort all across the country"

Y'know, I watched her movie Murder on cable the other day, and I have to say Mallika Sherawat ain't that awful an actress ... too bad the story was crap. Given a better script, I'm sure audiences will get to see her in top gear.

And talking of shex, it seems two Mumbai BPO employees were caught on hidden camera making out in their office cubicle (full on, man!). Now that's what happens when you have very costly ergonomically designed super-comfy office chairs ... beats the pants off any Curl-On mattress anyday!

But BPO employees should object to hidden cameras being placed in their offices. They work so damn hard, putting in odd hours and all that ... what's wrong in having a quick romp once in a while?
