We don't need no water, let the mother Russia burn

US rock group Bloodhound Gang has been banned from a Russian music festival after a band member stuffed the Russian flag into his underpants on stage. Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky described the band as "idiots" and said they were "packing their suitcases". Bass player Jared Hasselhoff (not related to Knight Rider and Baywatch star David Hasselhoff) was seen in a video pushing the flag into the front of his pants and pulling it out of the back. Hasselhoff later apologised for the stunt, but he shouldn't have because Russia isn't really the best place to be right now. The only thing they've done right in recent times is give Edward Snowden asylum. But there's also the issue of Russia's worsening human rights record under Putin. For example, a law against "homosexual propaganda" (which prohibits such symbols as the rainbow flag as well as published works containing homosexual content) was recently passed. Therefore, I think Hasselhoff had just cause to stuff the Russian flag down his underpants.
