in the photo filming I AM A LOVE ADDICT

Hey,
Just finished shoot and came back. The shoot took too much of my time - so much that I couldn't even make it to PC Jewellers Miss India Worldwide Pageant for which I had invites.
The shoot was full of snags - probably the first shoot that was not only badly planned - but the production was lousy too; needs a crash-course in production - eh!
Imagine, the team was exhausted of mineral water!
The money I was getting kept me going; as I need the bucks to fund '69' - anyways I guess, I better forget about the shit oops shoot!
Just read that Manoj Kumar and Shahrukh Khan have finally reached a truce with latter agreeing to delete portions featuring Manoj Kumar from all the prints of Om Shanti Om - the point is after 15 months does anyone even remember OSO?
The film was forgotten after 15 days forget 15 weeks!
The other issue that perturbed me are the different cases filed against Slumdog Millionaire - c'mon when are we - the creative lot - spared of such frivolous cases.
I remember there was a case filed against a dear friend - she modelled for a jewelery brand wearing nothing (or such was the impression the ad gave) - the next thing she knew - a case was filed against her - vulagarity!
What is vulagarity?
Is there any definition for vulagarity?
Vulgarity is just a perception - something that might offend my sensibilities, might be perfectly fine with some other person and vice-versa. The point is how can a handful of people pass dictats or verdicts on vulgarity!
Guess, it is time law is spruced up to tighten noose around these elements - who in the garb of NGO's - file frivolous cases - thereby not only wasting time of the creative lot, but also the precious time of the h'ble courts.
Of course, the petrol wastage, the resulting jams, the delay in hearing of much more important and deserving cases - are the attributes these elements don't even think about!
Why not arrest these people group who file frivolous cases?
I remember, an NGO in Goa filed a case against Mr. Amitabh Bachchan - owing to a publicity hoarding of a film - where he is smoking.
Why?
There contention is, it propagates smoking.
Does it?
I might well be, Mr. Bachchan's biggest fan under the sun - I don't smoke!
Really, strange are the mind-set of people or groups or NGO's and the free-time they have to file these frivolous cases.
