Pussy Riot?

[ILiveAgainParticipant]

Those Russian t~~~s … you know …. the ones that got locked up and then whipped outside winter Olympics stadium …

What happened? …. not heard much from them since they skulked away with a police boot up the backside.

They’re on the sidelines licking their wounds, probably making a song about Patriarchy’s Russian Cops and how their guitar ended up in a public trash bin – right where it belongs.
Next songs on new album:
We hit the pavement at Winter Olympics.
That whip kinda turned me on.
Hit me right, hit me hard.
We’re clueless but we’re good at it.
I want some of that old-time Domestic Violence.
Yelling louder than cops.
America, sweet and feminist.
I want to pee standing up.
We’re pussies and proud of it.

Pussy Rot has gone the way all gimmick bands with no talent go; the land of the obscure and forgotten. They won’t even be trivia question answer.

I bathe in the tears of single moms.

Despite being humiliated by whip warriors(cossacks). I don’t think they learned a thing.

I’m picturing the decades and decades in jail I’d spend in the Soviet United States for pulling a similar stunt – say, protesting briefly in an Episcopal Church their acceptance of unchristian things like homosexuality, then making a video of it. The term “hate crime” springs to mind. Yes, I think I’d probably spend close to a decade or two in prison here, and I don’t somehow see Amnesty International protesting on my behalf.

I think they’re basically annoying persons who are trying to get the media to pay attention to them. If the media pays attention to them, they’ve won. They lack musical training and talent, but punk, so . . . *shrug*. I’m not really convinced they deserved two years’ jail for briefly filming in a Cathedral, as they did leave (according to Wikipedia) when requested to do so. I think the Russian government might have handled this more intelligently by questioning the rights to the intellectual property of the images of the interior of the Cathedral.

I also think their message was basically incoherent and all over the place. The Orthodox Church had a tricky relationship with the oppressive Soviet regime for a long time, and definitely finked to the KGB on many an occasion. They had a valid point there. All the social marxist and feminist crap that Pussy Riot espouses, however, falls on deaf ears in Russia, and attacking the Orthodox Church is not a clever thing to do in general there.

I think they’re famous because of American agitprop. All of the noise regarding this just screams “idiot CIA plot”, at least to me.

"You can either love women, or understand women. You can't do both. Because once you understand women, you realize that there is really nothing to love."

Oh yes. That rock group that set up their equipment in an Orthodox church (without permission of course) and played their loud music in it made blasphemous and mocking gestures in the process, videotaped it and all while people were there trying to pray, meditate and seek council. Why? Because they were angry with Putins policies so naturally they took it out on innocent people who did nothing to them. For that they spent two years in prison. And then the feminists and celebrities like Madonna hail them as heroes. I happen to be Greek Orthodox so that really hits very personal for me. I don’t care how they are now, if we don’t know it can only mean that they aren’t getting attention. That’s fine for me.
