Not cool!
Four innocent people were badly injured at the Maharaja Organization in Sri Lanka, Colombo yesterday when protesters hurled rocks at the building of the sponsor for Akon’s upcoming concert.
Religious locals have taken offense to Akon’s video Sexy Chick, which features groups of half-nekkid women dancing at a pool party in front of a Buddha statue. Almost 200 protesters showed up outside the office, holding posters reading ‘Stop Akon’s Show’ and then taking a violent turn by smashing windows and destroying parked cars outside the building.
The four injured network employees received medical attention while the police took several protesters into custody, though they confirmed that it is unclear if they will face any charges.
Shame. Violence is never the answer, especially against innocent people.
Is that what Buddha would have done???
