Jay Leno & NBC Sued Over Mitt Romney Joke:
Dr. Randeep Dhillon of Bakersfield filed the suit today in Los Angeles Superior Court. On behalf of himself and Bol Punjabi All Regions Community Organization, the suit charges that the broadcast was libelous on its face and exposed Sikhs and their religion to hatred, contempt and ridicule because it portrayed the holiest place in the Sikh religion as a vacation resort owned by a non-Sikh. The suit charges that Leno’s use of the photo of the temple was intentional, deliberately false and “hurt the sentiments of all Sikh people in addition to those of the plaintiff.” The suit seeks general, special and punitive damages as well as court costs. It appears that video of the segment in question has been removed from NBC’s website.
Remember, this is the same religion which prompted believers to riot in England to shut down a play which they considered blasphemous. A disproportionate number of migrants in the Indian Diaspora are Punjabi Sikhs for what it’s worth. They’ve committed multiple acts of terrorism in Canada.
