India, Feb. 16 -- I was yanked out of my virus-induced misery by the deafening shrieks of TV news anchors who, between gasps for breath, hurled words like 'despicable,' 'degenerates' and 'uncultured.'

The apparent culprit? A YouTuber/ influencer named Ranveer Allahbadia, who asked a question that sent India's moral Police into cardiac arrest.

And what was this heinous question? Brace yourself.

This baby-faced 31-year-old, appearing on a show run by a 27-year-old - a show infamous for its crass humour and intellectual bankruptcy - posed the question: "Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life, or would you join in once to stop it forever?"

Yes, it's crude. Yes, it's juvenile. Yes, it's disgusting ...
