[Condoms](http://www.lemonzoo.com/funny_videos/19322/Bollywood_does_condoms.html) I don’t know whether to be ashamed or proud of my country. ---

They’ve obviously been communicating with the [Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention](http://www.asaap.ca/), who have been papering the Toronto subway with ads in recent months. “We wrap it right. But the question is… do you?” ---

For me, that video brought up more questions than it answered… Do people in India find stuff like that funny or is it supposed to be serious? Is that how all Bollywood is? Where/when is this of thing going to be shown? Fragrance? ---

Good, positive message, even if it was waaaaaaaay too long. The acknowledgement of same sex coupling was quite surprising as I thought catching teh Gay was one of the more shunable and strict taboos in Indian culture. ---

Well, since it’s Telugu, it’s technically not Bollywood. That would be Tollywood. ---

[QUOTE=alanak] Well, since it’s Telugu, it’s technically not Bollywood. That would be Tollywood. [/QUOTE] I knew it was something else. But what does the “B” stand for? I thought it was just a corruption of Holly wood. I am very surprised at the gay thing. On the whole, I liked it. They actually shot it through villages it seems. And yes - Bollywood is like 80’s videos, all the time. ---
