While agreeing to the viiew of Mr. Satburn (above) that Gandhi is not an indian property. I view the whole thing as the mental status of the person who did it. may be he had good intentions but on account of social perversion in USA society, he did not consider the gravity of it. The social order of that country is different. Mom kills dad, dad kills child, small kids kill their fellow kids in the school prayer. What else can one expect from them. A totally materialistic country and soil will generate only such mindset. Yes, we can talk of change therein, if we really want things to happen in a manner gandhi was meant. We have to respect all values and all people because it is there since earlier period and the people are only acting in whatever is within them based on the culture they live in. With regards to all, never trying to offend any society. I view the whole episode quite differently. While agreeing to the viiew of Mr. Satburn (above) that Gandhi is not an indian property.

Freedom?????...does not mean what I like to say or what I want to do. It should be withinin the sense of touchness and respectfulness. Moreover, Gandhian attitude or practice not a property of Indian government. Thanks a lot Heather for your respectful attitude.

But some policing is necessary and I think when it comes to TV, everything should be monitored and certified, just as movies are so that programmes can be watched by appropriately aged people. Gandhi, poledancing, does seem an intriguing idea even if it left a bad taste in the mouth :) I also subscribe to the view that if it offends you, dont watch.

Here is an example of a positive one: http://pugettown.wordpress.com/2007/01/19/reincarnating-gandhi/ I think that there can be positive portrayals of Gandhi and inappropriate ones.
