In favour of the ET on TV

We as a nation, deserve the tv we get!

If ET ever came to India, and flicked television channels to check out what the culture is all about, I bet he'd discover the following facts about this nation:

1. Indian women wear very large bindis, and dress in a variety of fusion undress.
2. These self-same women belong to impossibly rich business families and spend their day plotting against the other.
3. Indian kids, and adults are so talented that the aam aadmi can be seen contesting in various talent shows dedicated to- talent, dancing, voting against each other, creating fatalistic jokes, or displaying feats of aerobic activity, some even manage to sing (a lot).
4. Sex Crimes top the list of our crime lists, women and even some men are unsafe.
5. Mangled dead bodies are routinely preserved and decorated for being shown on camera before being disposed off.
6. As a country, we have no art and culture etc etc, unless they are inaugurated by a film personality who knows nothing about them.


I am sure various other edifying comments on our political and judicial leaders will also be found, but that would require serious eyeball dedication from ET.

Which brings us to the earlier question, as we all are already dying of natural disasters, riots, loot, rape, murder and arson, would ET not decide to do away with us?

Unless ET decides to host It's own TV reality show- where contestants get either bumped off, sent to Mars, or made to dance and live in zero gravity conditions.

Now that would be entertainment!
