The media is always accused of being the harbinger of bad news. Of being the "nattering nabobs of negativism". Of glorifying death, disease, despair and disaster when there are so many happy, positive things happening all round us. Here's a "sexy" story that should leave you feeling nice and good. (If it doesn't, get a life, stop blaming us.)

Lighten up. "Sexy Stuff" is a takeoff about gender. Remember those application forms you filled? Sex: Male/Female. In this case, female.
"You've come a long way, baby" is a punchline for Virginia Slims cigarettes, a cigarette they launched for women to suggest that women had earned their place.
In Punjab, a State where foeticide is done by any roadside mechanic, the women of Lakhanpur have really come a long way, baby.
