UK Desi reality show set to take the world by storm!

[waz]

The thread title is a little exaggerated, maybe Desi world.

Well folks we have very own version of "Keeping up with the kardashains", "Shahs of Sunset", "Housewives of Miami/New York/wherever", yes reality shows have found the Desi community. The series will be directed by Gurinder Chadda of "Bend if like Beckham" fame and will follow Desi families and individuals in their lives, full of glamour, money, chappatis, saas and beau fights and everything else.

By the way here is all the cast.

From the looks of it:
The Pakistanis spend their time in the gym working their muscles, and that's it.
The Patels chase money and greater glory.
The Punjabis like to party.

Talk about stereotypes.


I hope our 1.5 billion cousins, in our ancestral lands tune in to see British Desi folk making complete clowns of themselves.

Many times I think we Desis are losing our taste of comedy as we love being racist or stereotype but when it comes on public space we unnecessary become moral police. Lets start taking joke on ourselves.

too much political correctness... comedy should be one field where people should be allowed to be 'racist'.. I dont mind a comic targetting Indians..
just like cartoons push the boundary of what is right and what is uncomfortable, comedy should do it too.

Hmm, can this be streamed?

Just watch on a tv site. But I don't know why you'd want to watch it.

Traditions and beliefs and righteousness and thoughtful acts dictate a society on how to behave, this is arrived at after many many decades and to give it away for some nincompoops who has no beliefs, no boudries and no manners to give up is not acceptable.

And what does that mean?? We should stop laughing when it comes to us but make fun of others. Sometimes laugh at yourself, having unnecessary ego is not good for one.

Take the world by storm? lol. I have Sky and I am ashamed to say I decided to watch an episode to see what this nonsense was about because they were advertising the hell out of it on Sky One since it was on a sister channel. The show is the most boring crap you can imagine. Interestingly, there are more than half dozen Pakistanis on the show (guys and girls) and they all drank, as if it was second nature. Didn't know so many Pakistanis were taken in by the Western culture so readily.

As for the show, it has horrible ratings.
