FTV: Banned Again for Nudity
Fashion TV (FTV) has got into problems in India yet again. The TV channel apparently telecast a programme containing toplesss shots of female models more than five months ago, but the fact came into light only recently, prompting the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India to take action. FTV has been banned for 10 days; the channel will now remain off air in India from 12th March to 21st March.
On 4th September 2009, Fashion TV twice telecast a programme containing nude shots of women – something which the Indian government found ‘obscene and denigrating to women’. Thus the TV channel violated certain clauses of the Cable Television Network Rules (1994).
FTV had previously gotten into trouble and was banned in 2007 for 2 months for airing programmes showing ’scantily clad women’ in one of its more popular programmes ‘Midnight Hot’.
The ban is only likely to serve the ends of the channel better: it is likely that when FTV appears on TV screens again, the TRPs will jump. No publicity is bad publicity, they say!
Estonia, a country in Northern Europe, doesn’t often appear in the world’s news headlines. But what this pretty country has been popular for are its amazingly pretty and hot women. There is an entire history of gentlemen from other parts of Europe hopping over to Estonia looking for a suitably ’sexy’ bride. The amenability of Estonian women towards marriage has definitely helped this trend, in no small matter. There are other factors which have led to this amenability: compared to women from other countries around, Estonian women have enjoyed far more independence, are stronger (though many believe that to be one of those ’modern myths’ that have managed to stay around.
Anyways, this piece was not meant to go into the anthropological or sociological history of Estonian women. Today, we will celebrate the ‘Hottest and Sexiest Estonian Women’ – here’s a compilation of the 10 Sexiest Women from Estonia. Cheers!
