oments after the Gujarat High Court asked<\/a> the government to look into whether a mobile phone application had blasphemed the religious sentiments of certain communities by inserting a virtual egg into places of worship, the country\u2019s finest journalists Weedward & Bongstein rummaged through a sleeping judge\u2019s dustbin and uncovered nearly one thousand pieces of paper.\n\nIn an intense eight-hour investigation\/Fevicol operation, W&B put the pieces together to find that the shredded notes were once part of several public interest litigations. The explosive findings show that these petitions were discarded, despite their high relevance to Indian society and morals. W&B have definitive information on four of the petitions, which are summarised below (we will keep updating this list in real-time as the investigation proceeds).\n\nA PIL was filed against Durex because the baingan condom<\/a> offended one Sheilaben Dixit\u2019s culinary sensibilities. Sheilaben\u2019s main gripe: She was made to eat an eggplant every day as a child, leaving her with a bitter taste in the mouth. Durex\u2019s latest eggplant-flavoured condom, however, lead to much heartburn. She was forced to approach the court since the very thought of a baingan condom made her nauseous and brought back traumatic childhood memories.\n\nOne Rasik Shah has filed a PIL against Mars landings because they interfere with horoscope readings. This PIL was filed by a lawyer from Nadiad after his son was forced to break up with his fianc\u00e9e. According to a local pandit, the marriage was never going to last. The pandit also said that the recent Mars Mission had interfered with the son\u2019s horoscope. The PIL has called for complete ban on further space missions, as well as the shutdown of NASA and ISRO, as it throws star readings out of balance.\n\nShiv Sagar, a leading vegetarian sect that advocates non-violence, violently protested outside the Ahmedabad court while filing a PIL against the song \u201cAnde Ka Funda\u201d<\/a>. The petitioners claimed that after a lot of research, it was revealed that the lyrics were actually about eggs. The petition revealed that the group initially thought the song lyrics were \u201cAndheka funda\u201d but later discovered it was about the proliferation of non-vegetarianism. (This group was alerted to these facts after one member of the sect Googled the lyrics to the song during a wild karaoke night.)\n\nAnd finally, the last PIL pieced together by W&B was against none other than Ronald McDonald for encouraging kids to sit in his lap. In yet another case of PC culture gone wild, angered parents of millennials alleged that Ronald McDonald statues encouraged kids to sit next to or in the lap of the clown-like character. The PIL argues that in a country like India, this is a necessary step, as it would help prevent child abuse.\n\nThis is an ongoing investigation. Please refresh this page every few minutes to get updates on other PILs, including one filed by animal rights activists against the deity Ganesha for perpetuating cruelty against rats, and another by the Postmen Association of India who are rallying against the culture of open letters<\/a>.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
