They Really Hate P.D.A.s!

Richard Gere, on a crusade to promote safe-sex in India, offended Hindu nationalists by kissing actress Shilpa Shetty numerous times IN PUBLIC on the hand and ON EACH CHEEK (on her face, you pervs). They responded by beating burning effigies of Gere with sticks and setting fire to glamorous shots of Shetty.

I'm not sure if the rage because Gere's middle name is "Tiffany", he engaged in a condom call and response, or they're still bitter because he divorced Cindy Crawford.

The rage could be from Shetty flirting with "Face" from the A-Team or punking out on "Celebrity Big Brother". They might have just been demonstrating what she should have done to the racists who harassed her on the show.

If they are pissed about a famous Bollywood actress being defiled in such a public display, imagine what they'd do if they knew about the gerbil incident!
