The only reason our family watched PTV over the Indian channels was because of its relative cleanliness compared to the Indian channels which although provided a million times better entertainment than the Pakis it was dirtier and unwatchable around family.
I’d not really watched Paki stuff for ages because every time we get together at family time we have family friends who lend us Pashto drama serials or a clean Hollywood film dubbed in Pashto so we watch them or English movies instead…
Maybe that’s why it’s a bit of a shock to me when I turned the Paki channels on, the Pakistani TV we were use to was Guest House (with the lovely charismatic aunty and her husband Shamiiiiiim and the cockroach who liked to be known as Jaan Rambo), Aroosa (the one with that pretty girl), Alpha Bravo Charlie, Kashkol, Aanch, Dukh Sukh etc. Nazia Hassan, Vital Signs, Junoon etc.
Now you turn PTV on and you get women with cleavages so big that half their things are jumping out at you and a (more or less) naked man in nothing but a skin tight lycra chaddi doing sit-ups on that meterosexual program presented by that gay guy with the long curly hair.
Is this the sort of programs we want to be watching whilst we’re sat with out mothers/sisters/daughters? It’s disgusting, we don’t want porn, family time isn’t for porn, it’s for putting your feet up with a hot cup of cocoa without worrying about awkwardly having to change channels.
The only reason we once watched Paki stuff and grew attached to it was because of its cleanliness, if we wanted naked flesh there is B4U, Zee TV, Star Plus with programming a million times better in quality than any Paki will ever be able to produce.
If I was randy I know the default PIN code for my set top box and I know which number to enter for Playboy or TV X, it’s disgusting we’re getting softcore porn on a supposedly Pakistani/Muslim channel. These idiots should do us a favour and stop playing Aazaan five times a day and the ArRahman-ArRaheem programs, because with all that music before and after it, it is sacrilegious and secondly I know my religion and don’t need dancers to tell it to me (like a brother once said one here we don’t need Miraasis to teach us Usool Ad-Deen), you don’t have to act like PSEUDO-Mullahs just do us a favour and stop showing the softcore porn instead, bloody hypocrites think playing Aazaan will redeem them for showing vulgarity, what’s the point in mixing religion and filth? I as a gentleman admit watching music videos is Haraam but I don’t go around trying to defend myself or legitimatise it or start mixing the ugly and devilish with the beautiful and divine, and misguide others by it.
All this is thanks to that greasy President. Like all that wasn’t bad enough every damn program seems to be based or set in a certain urban overcrowded dust infested part of Pakistan with all sorts of weird and ajeeb people who we don’t recognise and whose culture we can’t relate to, the face of Pakistani TV has completely changed thanks to these people, this isn’t what we related to Pakistan, when we thought Pakistan we thought faces we could recognise that resembled our own people back home, we thought serials set in beautiful places like ISB (not the overcrowded dunghole I mentioned above), we thought Kaghan, Swat, Chitral, Peshawar, green fields and water buffaloes of the fertile and beautiful Punjab… If what I see on TV is the new and future face of Pakistan then the little bit of emotional attachment I had for Pakistan is gone.
This is what you get when you have foreigners ruling you, imposing their vile culture and lack of morals/values (enlightened moderation?) on you.
