With the Sikh board drawing first blood, how can others be left behind.

The offencees this time around are from the Jagannath temple. The movie in question, Kaminey.

The part that offended them was that in the film there was the well-known Hindi phrase, Apna haath Jagannath written on a toilet door alongside a scantily clad woman. They found that it vandalizes the pure image of their God.

I wouldn’t have ever related that phrase to the temple, if not for their reasoning. If anything, they shouldn’t be offended by the scantily clad woman; they should be offended that the phrase is a very common reference to .. ahem .. certain self-help strategies.

If you don’t know what the phrase means, too bad.
