[icernet] Now MTV clones Gandhi, chips away at Mahatma

[Arul Selvan]

   This is one MTV show you will never get to watch in India but its 
sure to upset many. Because the MTV USA, all set to beam an animated 
series Clone High USA, is introducing G-Man, a clone of Mahatma Gandhi 
who dangles ear-rings, digs junk food, is the ultimate party animal 
and goes yo, yo man as he raps. Tushar Gandhi, the Mahatmas 
grandson, has written to Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, asking him 
to take strict measures and Gandhian Nirmala Deshpande, while 
lodging her protest, has made it known Gandhi is so great that such 
pygmies who try to ridicule him will only fail. The MTV USA series is 
all about a group of scientists creating clones from DNA extracts of 
Gandhi, Buddha, Joan of Arc, J F Kennedy and Cleopatra. Ten years later, 
the clones gather for a high school meet and what follows is sheer 
misadventure.
