WTF.... Shilpa Shetty gets doctorate for stripping and poor acting X-(
http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1110500The most hilarious nonsense that any university of the world can do is to give an actor a doctorate. I mean what has Shilpa Shetty done for Indian cinema or cinema as a whole what she deserves this honour. HAs Dadasaheb Phalke been awarded a similar honour even if it is posthomous. For that matter the yesteryears actors/directors/singers have done wonders on Indian Sinema given their backwardness in technology. With todays computer aided editing and animation all the actor has to do is look good. A good technician can fix things without much ado. So why does a third rate actress like Shilpa Shetty DESERVE to have a doctorate.What has she or for that matter any actor (e.g. Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan or any other money-minded quisling of a businessman) done for Indian Cinema or more to say "Bollywood" than produce mushy love stories in picture perfect countries. Coming back to the topic what has Shilpa Shetty done except for acting like a contestant in a wet T-Shirt competition and dancing like being struck down with fitsComing to the credentials of the university..... a university must pride itself with the graduates/undergraduates it produces. No self-respecting university will SELL degrees like Leeds Metropolitan University has done. A graduate gets associated to a university for life. It is highly unbecoming of a university to give out honours like this to undeserved candidates. I WILL CALL IT DISRESPECTFUL TO ALL THE HARDWORKING DOCTORATES WHO HAVE WORDED HARD TO BE AT THE TOP OF TRADE. In that respect, Shilpa Shetty is not a topper in her trade.At this rate, we can only laugh out loud when Rakhi Sawant is given out a "Honorary Doctorate" for her efforts to promote dirty dancing, B-Grade films, absolute contempt for clothing, third rate voice and a false sense of woman's emancipation :P ...... ABSOLUTE CRAP !!!
