Yes our GenX channel MTV did get a taste of their own medicine this Monday. The protest by some Sikhs was against a poster for the On The Job show, which allegedly portrayed a member of their community in an offensive manner.
MTV was promoting the show with the tagline ‘Jobs your parents won’t understand,’ which showed a girl from their community working as a masseur and her father suddenly discovering her new profession.
Ironically, a masseur is not among the careers profiled by the channel on the show.
The protestors managed to trash the office and destroy 3 plazma tvs, each approximately costa 65000/- rupees
