Let's detain the world's biggest star because his last name is Khan - that will make us popular!
The Hell?????
Shah Rukh Khan, dangermousie's favorite actor, and more importantly the world's biggest movie star (because he is the biggest movie star in Bollywood and Bollywood tickets outsell Hollywood) was in the United States for filming and was detained by the immigration folks for questioning - for two hours!!! The Indian Embassy had to intervene to get him out.
Ooooh goody - he is a Muslim man, he's got to be an eeeeeeeevil terrorist? The hell?
Are they flipping INSANE????? Fine, they detained him because the name came up on some screen or other, but why the hell did they question him for hours and only released him after the Indian Embassy got involved? Shouldn't he have been let go immediately? He told them he was a movie star - couldn't they fucking google it to confirm it if they are clueless?
Ironically, I bet he was in the US to film "My Name is Khan," about prejudice a Muslim man is subjected to in America (which apparently got picked up by Fox Searchlight for distribution in the US). How apt.
Ooooh, doesn't he look scary and detainable:
