Goa Orders 'No Vulgarity' at Indian Playboy Club
2012-11-04
[An Nahar] Indian tourist officials in Goa warned Friday that they would shut down a Playboy club set to open next month if there was any evidence of "obscenity, vulgarity or nudity".
I'm trying to think of what's more vulgar than a Playboy Club. Anybody come up with anything?
Playboy's local franchisee PB Lifestyle has announced plans for more than 100 outlets in India, starting with a beachside club in the holiday state, but their "bunny" waitresses will sport a new look to suit conservative Indian values.

"They may brand the club as Playboy but if they indulge in obscenity, vulgarity or nudity, then we will withdraw their permission immediately," Goa's director of tourism Nikhil Desai, told Agence France Presse.

He said he was unaware of any formal application for a license.

PB Lifestyle, which has the rights to develop Playboy outlets in India, plans to open clubs, hotels, fashion cafes and shops across the country in the next 10 years, investing at least two billion rupees ($37 million).

#4  Local police looking for under the table payments?

Anyway they can get them. Bribery is a way of life there.

#3  Probably has to do with kickbacks ... easiest way to put pressure on the club manager is to shut them down for "vulgarity". Local police looking for under the table payments??
