Deepak Chopra defends The Love Guru; I still won't shell out $10 to see it

Deepak Chopra, uber-famous spiritual leader and author, has come to the aid of Mike Myers latest "comedy," The Love Guru. Based on the trailer, many members of the Hindu community were angry that Myers and the film were mocking the Hindu faith and using their sacred terms "frivolously."

In his essay defending the film, Chopra criticizes those members of the Hindu community critiquing the film based on a short trailer. Apparently the film makes more fun of Chopra himself than of Hinduism. Chopra and Myers have been friends for some time, and the real-life guru even has a cameo in the film.

While Chopra says that the film's message is one of "love being the ultimate truth," it still won't tempt me into the theater in three weeks. While I found nothing in the trailer offensive, I found nothing funny either. And when you're talking about the trailer for a supposed comedy film, that's an unforgivable failure.
