Last night, the Oscars took place in California while I slept in Jaipur. I think a fun way to demonstrate the difference between the US and India could be from comparing two reactions to a beacon of international peace and cooperation: Angelina Jolie.
Here is what the LA Times had to say:
"Best dressed! Angelina Jolie's black velvet Atelier Versace gown, slit thigh-high, was as smoldering, high-drama as fashion can get on the red carpet."
Meanwhile, my internet stick over here launches Yahoo! India every time I successfully connect, so I had to click through when I saw the headline "Oscars 2012: Girl, Humiliated"... Surely no major gaffes were being covered up by the American media?
Here is what the Yahoo! India commentator had to say:
"Not a hair was out of place, the famous pillow lips were painted a Satan concubine red and the limber, zero-percent-body-fat body was encased in an asymmetric velvety black number that had a slit so high on the right that it went all the way up to Calgary mountains in Canada. To give the devil its due, the black gown did give off a somewhat quasi well-developed derriere vibe, but mother-of-6 Angelina Jolie seemed to want to show the versatility of the slit so bad, she almost ended up flashing the divine doodah that has, among other things, birthed three messiahs for the betterment of this world in the last 5 years."
Somewhat different in tone. I highly recommend the Indian take on Angie, as it is very opinionated.
