In defense of all Ants

 

 

People, I am aghast. Mr. Ali HazMat, formerly of Junoon, has made the most vile of videos, a video that promotes violence and rape. Of ants. You know the one I am talking about, the newest Punjabi one called Gallan.

 

It is a video where poor baldheaded Ali is wandering around heartbroken and a well meaning Ant approaches him to mend his broken heart. Yet poor Ali, being the commitment-phobic man that he is, does what all men do, he runs away. The Ant humiliates herself and runs after him to explain herself. Only he goes and hangs with his buddies. They then get together and assault her. Most violently and kill her in the end. Most amoral unfortunate video ever.

 

Moreover, I hate the fact that the video glorifies violence against Ants. Now I have heard of all the going ons in all these rockstar apartment – one has apparently been dubbed KFCs from what I hear – and all that goes on in there. But to show it out in the open? In video? I have always been an advocate of my friend Imran Khan’s concept of doing stuff behind close doors. I don’t make videos out of my pecadillos and air it (though I am sure a few of the music channels just might air it). But for Ali to have a video, and to have four against one. Group violation. Bang by Gang. Horrible. Some kid might even take the symbolism of ants to mean you are talking about aunts. Now where would that leave us Mr. Rockstar you ? Where is your sense of social responsibility?

 

Either that or the video is about the threat of fundamentalism and how we should all unite to fight the same. Either way, it is most unfortunate.

 

Mr. Azmat, you will never be a bug such as us. Gumby already has the looks down. That Khushfehmi kid is cute, I wouldn’t mind if he joined the Bug Brigade. Until you make a video to apologise, Mr. Ali Azmat, you have lost one Bug fan. Bug off.
