Major religions hating on ‘The Love Guru'

The Love Guru stinks on a level previously untouched by anything other than I Know Who Killed Me. Everyone is slamming the movie - in fact it's received some of the harshest, most vivid criticism I've read in years. The film came in fifth on its opening weekend at the box office - and even that was surprising. The film was released right after a scathing Entertainment Weekly story about what a jerk Mike Myers is.

On top of that, the film had already been harshly criticized and boycotted by Hindus. Now Catholics are jumping on the bandwagon, calling the film morally offensive. I can't help but agree that it's offensive - if for no other reason than it apparently sucks worse than anything. Ever.

A leading Catholic group has come to the aid of America's Hindus who are boycotting Mike Myers' new film The Love Guru - because religious officials have found the film to be 'morally offensive.' The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (Usccb) has slapped the comedy with its highest classification.

Hindu leader Rajan Zed, who has been leading the outcry about the new film, is thrilled that other religious officials are taking his concerns seriously - branding the new ‘O' rating the Catholics have given the movie a 'remarkable interfaith gesture'.

Rajan Zed says, 'We are thankful to the Conference of Catholic Bishops for having a feel for the pain of the Hindu and spiritual community by categorizing The Love Guru as morally offensive.' Zed called for a full Hindu boycott of the film because it allegedly uses Hindu concepts and Hindu terms frivolously. He asked other religious groups to lend their support.
