词条 | Mysore Mallige Scandal |
释义 |
The so-called Mysore Mallige Scandal refers to the non-consensual distribution of a sexual home video made by a couple studying Engineering at College in Hassan in 2001. The word 'scandal' here apparently refers to the fact that the couple had sex and video taped it. This was shocking to the public who had not heard of couples, sex, or video tapes before. The word 'scandal' in this case doesn't refer to the fact that by viewing, sharing, and distributing the video, hundreds of people participated in a non-consensual sex act with the girl and boy. The public was okay with participating in the distribution of pornography. The video made by the couple themselves was leaked out by a friend of the boy involved.[1] Both the boy and the girl were students of an engineering College. The words Mysore Mallige meaning the Jasmine (in Kannada) of Mysore is actually a double entendre because it originally refers to the flower variety by the same name. This was considered both clever and creative by those who viewed the video. HistoryThe video was filmed by the couple to capture their lovemaking. This footage leaked when the boy went to get the tape converted to a CD.[2] Later, one of the boy's friends who got hold of the footage and posted it on message boards on the internet under the name Mysore Mallige. Once the footage went viral, police investigation started and the boy who leaked it was identified and beaten up by the victim girl's family. After the video was widely circulated on CDs, the couple is believed to have fled to the U.S. There were also rumors of them having separated later.[3] In popular cultureMysore Mallige became a very popular video and was widely discussed by scholars concerned with matters of cyberlaw, pornography, exhibitionism and voyeurism.[4] Bharath Murthy, a filmmaker, even made a documentary film that showcases different people's responses after having seen the clip. It is titled Jasmine of Mysore and was released in 2007. Since then, this incident has acquired a cult status.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|last=Bag|first=Shamik|title=Outsiders India|url=http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/outsiders-india/228515/|accessdate=28 April 2012|newspaper=Indian Express|date=15 October 2007}} 2. ^{{cite news|last=Gowhar|first=Imran|title=Karavali sex scandal: No IB job for MMS victim|url=http://www.mid-day.com/news/2011/jul/150711-news-bangalore-Karavali-sex-scandal-No-IB-job-for-MMS-victim.htm|accessdate=28 April 2012|newspaper=Mid-day|date=15 July 2011}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Suvarna|first=Yatish|title=Ways of an Indian pervert|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2006-12-03/india/27822142_1_school-girl-boys-images|accessdate=28 April 2012|newspaper=Times of India|date=3 December 2006}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Susan|first=Nisha|title=What's up, doc?|url=http://www.tehelka.com/story_main36.asp?filename=hub011207What_new.asp|accessdate=28 April 2012|newspaper=Tehelka|date=1 December 2007}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Muyiwa|first=Joshua|title=For peek’s sake|url=http://www.timeoutdelhi.net/client_coverstory/client_coverstory_details.asp?code=616|accessdate=28 April 2012|newspaper=Time Out}} See also
