TV9 at the Heights of Perversion

I came across a video link 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ACFNNv4UR4&feature=player_embedded' in one of the websites that I frequently visit. This talks about Preity Zinta's reaction when the Punjab team won a match in IPL.

Anybody who understands Telugu can immediately see the kind of perversion with which the hosts in this Video clip talk and express. The perversion of the video editor is also obvious when he/she edited the video showing the part where Preity Zinta hugs the players, repeatedly.

While it is understandable that a friendly hug is not quite common among the public in India, I am sure even those that are not cultured(or groomed) enough to understand a hug, do not view that as obscene. However, from the way these hosts talk, they make the people who watch it feel like it is some kind of a obscene gesture and there is no bigger blunder than hugging in the public.

To add fuel to the way that these hosts were talking, Sunil Gavaskar, who interviews the skipper asks 'Which one is better? the Trophy or the Kiss from the beautiful lady' (or something like that). That is the least that would be expected from a Professional like him.

TV9 has to be socially responsible and understand that the content being broadcasted over television has a huge impact on the audience of various sections (Children, Teens & Youth especially).
