The Tamil Strike Again
Topic: Akon Banned from Sri Lanka
Summary:
Akon is no longer welcome in Sri Lanka, after filming a pool party video for his song with David Guetta, Sexy chick.
Significance:
People were violently protesting that Akon insulted Buddha because of a statue in the background of the music video.
This situation is fairly ridiculous and fairly far-fetched. I can understand why people were angry, after all nearly 70% of the country is Buddhist. However, their decision to ban Akon from ever entering the country is unfair. First of all, its not Akon's song or music video. Its David Guetta, Akon was just featuring in it. Guetta even apologized to Buddhists in Sri Lanka, saying "am a spiritual man, so I can understand why they are offended. But violence is never the answer and I am disheartened to hear about what happened in Sri Lanka."
However, the protesters are fairly hypocritical in their argument because one of the principles of Buddhism states that all things are impermanent. It just goes to show that everyone is ready to quickly blame someone.
The part that amazes me is that they somehow missed all the half naked women in the video and saw the Buddha in the background.
Thank you for reading :D
