Parody music video by three Indian students of Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like its Hot”.
If you have a lot of chest hair,
Show it like a FOB*,
Immigration coming to get you,
Marry like a FOB,
…
I’ve got the champals on my feet,
when im walking down the street,
and I make the best saag**,
when I want something to eat
…
I am a nice FOB,
I work in the IT***,
When you call tech support,
You will get me.
…
I am a bachelor,
And I work hard,
Come and marry me
So I can get the Green-card.
…
White people, they can’t understand me,
Their jobs are now in New Delhi.
…
* FOB, Freshly Off the Boat, aka. newly arrived immigrants.
** Saag (or Sag), an Indian spinach dish.
*** IT, information technology.

Accroding to Ananova,
An Indian firm which rents out wedding guests says business is booming.The Best Guests Centre, at Jodhpur in Rajasthan, is looking to expand across the state.
The company caters for families who fear they will fall short of guests at weddings.
It hires out guests, either traditionally dressed or wearing smart western clothes, according to requirements and budget.
The guests dance and try to impress with their etiquette without letting anyone know they are being paid for it.
Proprietor M I Syed briefs his staff about the groom, the bride and their families before the wedding to avoid a faux pas.
He told The Statesman: “The breaking up of joint families and lack of affection among relatives also creates a demand for paid guests.
“Such families need to hire guests to make up for the fewer number of relatives available for attending the marriage.â€?
