When The Stripper Is Actually A Hooker (Clip) | Friends | TBS

Chandler finds out that Monica had a bachelorette party with a stripper, even though they promised not to have bachelor/bachelorette parties. Monica feels bad about having had a bachelorette party, so she organizes a bachelor party including a stripper for Chandler. Joey is the only “guest”, because Ross has a date with Mona that night, and Chandler is embarrassed and doesn’t really want to have the party at all. The stripper arrives, but turns out to be a hooker. Rachel takes Phoebe along to dinner with Rachel’s dad, because she is afraid her dad will be really angry when she tells him she’s pregnant. Mr. Green is delighted to hear he will be a grandfather, but freaks out when he finds out that Rachel isn’t getting married - so she just tells him that Ross won’t marry her. Mr. Green goes to see Ross to yell at him - but unfortunately for Ross, Mona is there, too, so they both start yelling at him. Rachel explains everything to her dad and to Mona, who makes up with Ross. Watch more Friends on TBS.

That may be just an artifact to many of them in the world. But in India we all call that Indian artifact as "Lord Ganesha" and pray to the Deity to eliminate all hurdles before we start a task to bring greater good to all by executing that task. Fortunately or Unfortunately this episode / series is not yet so popular in our entire nation, but pushing away that deity's idol with feet would hurt many people sentiments severely.

The breaking up of Lord Ganesha idol just for the sake of a laughter really portrays the mentality how the makers and the actors of this show feel about the sentiments of Hindu religion. What if in an Indian sit com you find the same thing happening to the statue of Jesus? The sad thing would be even many Indians and that too Hindus (when I say hindu it includes Sikhs, Jains and Budhs) would let it slide and laugh with idiots on this shameful act. Hindus will never even think about doing this kind of shameful act and performing it is out of the question and our morals which I guess the makers and actors are lacking.

So now there really isn't anyone who can do something meaningful, they can only apologise. Like how the Brits can't give our stuff back or Americans can't return the land to Natives.
