LONDON: A leading Catholic group in the US is helping Hindus boycott the controversial new Mike Myers movie "The Love Guru".
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has
classified the movie as offensive. Hindu leader Rajan zed, who is
leading a campaigning against the movie for "lampooning" Hindus, is
happy that other religious groups have taken up the cause and called
the USCCB move a "remarkable inter-faith gesture", contactmusic.com
reports.
USCCB officials called the film "vulgar and tasteless", saying it
"wallows in endless penis jokes and fairly yucky potty humour".
Zed said: "We are thankful to the Conference of Catholic Bishops for
feeling the pain of the Hindu community and categorising 'The Love
Guru' as morally offensive. Today it is Hinduism, tomorrow Hollywood
might attempt to denigrate another religion."
