RUSSIA TAKES THE HIGH GROUND YET ONCE AGAIN

Something happened with Vladimir Putin that caused him to have a mighty change of heart.  His country was almost completely in a state of moral decline (best examples being the life expectancy of the average male was 56 years due to Vodka - and the female's chosen form of birth control was the abortion).  Now, homosexuals are on their way out (Frisco will openly accept you....) and now this:

  (CNN) -- Thinking about making a film? Better leave out the foul language if you want it to be seen in Russia. The same goes for plays. Even rock stars will need to leave their potty mouths at home.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed off on a new law Monday that bans swearing at arts, cultural and entertainment events in the country.
Any new film containing obscene language won't be granted a distribution certificate, so there's no chance of seeing it at the movie theater.
And copies of books, CDs or films containing swearing can only be distributed in a sealed package labeled "Contains obscene language," a Kremlin statement said.
Russia will enforce anti-gay law New Russian law bans U.S. adoptions
According to state news agency ITAR-Tass, individuals caught using foul language face a fine of up to $70, while officials can be fined up to $40 and businesses nearly $1,400. They face a higher fine and a three-month suspension of business for repeated offenses.
Heck, when can I move there??  Darn it!

  1. Just another form of control and we know who wants to take away our agency, so I am suspect of this policy.
