Fun google-ism
Here's a fun fact... I was randomly searching for fashion trends amongst Bollywood actors trying to see if there has been a significant shift over time in sensibilities (in response to Silverman's article)... apparently the search string 'Bollywood actor' when qualified by the word 'male', throws up topless men in the first five images (there's more when you scroll down the screen) and when changed to 'Bollywood male' gets even more spectatorial as demonstrated by the above images... masculinity in India is clearly going the objectified way!
