Some time ago, the country was rocked by the mother of all bans, in the form of an all inclusive crackdown on websites not just streaming porn but even showing anything deemed slightly objectionable by the Kim Jong Uns of our country. And then there was a beef ban. And now some people want to ban a person for some Snapchat video he made. I mean, if they don’t like it, then it’s got to go, right? And since anything and everything is now ban-able, there’s a whole other list of mindless things that they should probably ban as well. Because it offends me.
Here’s an extensive list of things India should ban pronto!
1. Ban bean bags. They make fart noises
