Plus like you say - he knows that hollywood is shaking because bollywood is gonna go mainstream in the next few years!

    'tis a good point doods - it's part and parcel of the image too - can't for example see someone not smoking in a Tarantino movie! Some things are just cool left without people babbling about influences - it's an artists' license after all.

I am on Khan's side for this one, the notion that film and television influences kids is an ongoing argument and once you take the view that it is an unavoidable and overriding fact, you have to start taking every 'bad' thing off the screen. And where would that leave us?!

LPGA Tour commissioner Carolyn Bivens said she would have a revised plan by the end of the year that would not include suspensions for players unable to speak English in pro-ams, trophy presentations or interviews.
