Russia bans foul language in the Arts.

[IPM Music]

So many of you may have read it by now, but Putin signed a bill banning profanity in music, literature, and film in Russia....

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.

Do you use profanity in your lyrics? Are you with or against this? Would you or Do you ever censor yourself to fit a law, norm, or audience?

Why do we continue to support these crooks? Power is taken away from us little by little and nothing is done about it. Why don't the people of Russia storm the government buildings and clean house? Why don't the American people storm the white house and every major government institution and completely reform our government? By continuing to allow these parasites to bleed us of our freedoms and basic human rights we are supporting them.

Doesn't this mean they need to outright ban Pussy Riot from existence? They're getting close to becoming North Korea.
