Probably it was the assumption that beer ads are crass. But the 'female hygiene' ban was baffling. We usually don't have the <em>chup chup baithe ho jaroor koi baath hai</em> type ads here. <strong> Santosh</strong>, of course! The Oscars are elitist.

I don't get the restriction on female hygine products either ? Additionally I assume that people watching the show late night on Sunday would be mostly adults !
