Police probes and hasty cover-ups

No, I'm not talking about Tom DeLay or Jack Abramoff. I'm talking about "wardrobe malfunctions" that took place during Bombay Fashion Week. It seems one model Carol Gracias' top slipped off exposing her breasts and another model's zipper split, leaving her bare butt exposed. There was an immediate police inquiry and much to everyone's relief the Deputy CM of Mahrashtra made a statement confirming that these events were accidents. Why, he even went so far as to commend the models on their behavior in quickly covering up the slip-ups. It's bad enough they're using police resources for this crap when there are other issues like, oh say for example, the rampant CORRUPTION! What's worse, the Shiv Sena, of course, has its own view:
A senior leader of the right wing Shiv Sena party, Pramod Navalkar, was among the legislators upset not just by the two controversial incidents, but by the whole tone of last week's event.

"In these fashion shows the majority of the body was exposed and very little was covered," Mr Navalkar told the BBC.

"Such exploitation of a woman's body for commercial purposes is not acceptable to us."

Mr Navalkar said he believed the "wardrobe malfunction" incidents were planned, so that an inquiry was needed.

"I am keen on women's organisations getting together and protesting... the sanctity of Indian culture should be maintained," he said.
Indeed, it should Mr. Navalkar. Perhaps you might also want to say that to Mr. Thakeray who is currently sharing a bed with his daughter-in-law?
