The Dalai Lama, spiritual guru extraordinaire, recently invited a child to suck his tongue. His own PR people subsequently released a quas-apology.
But CNN panelist doesn’t think it was that big of a deal.
It’s really just a simple cultural misunderstanding, after all!
So shut your mouth, bigot, and respect the ancient Tibetan tradition of tongue-sucking.
I have traveled far and wide, and seen a lot of strange stuff in the interim.
Never once have I seen a monk or any spiritual leader embrace a child and instruct him to suck his tongue.
The question is: how much does does this CNN guy, either directly or indirectly, take from the Dalai Lama or the institution he represents? Relatedly, how much child tongue-sucking does this gentleman do on his own time that might necessitate his forceful public defense of the practice?
Like retired generals in the employ of Raytheon trotted out onto corporate media to sell endless war, these people always have ulterior motives.
