Mike Myers Pisses Off The Dotheads
Posted April 6, 2008
Actor Mike Myers has sparked controversy in Hindu communities for “lampooning” the religion in his new movie. The 44-year-old plays Guru Pitka in the upcoming film and repeats the mantra of Mariska Hargitay - inspired by the American actress - as his calming technique. But Hindu leader Rajan Zed has accused Myers of stereotyping the culture, adding the movie “appears to be lampooning Hinduism and Hindus.” Studio Paramount Pictures has agreed to a preview of the movie for Hindu leaders prior to its release. A spokesman says, “Love Guru, which is not yet complete, is a satire created in the same spirit as Austin Powers. It is our full intention to screen the film for Rajan Zed and other Hindu leaders once it is ready.”
It’s called parody people, who cares? Racial humor is just that, humor.
