Used in a fancy multiple choice question (i.e choose all that apply) ... Pussy Riot is:
A.) Cool cats who are uniting together to fight against the 1% in a major city near you.
B.) A cause de celebre regarding free speech.
C.) The name of a band in the news that many major broadcasters didn't feel comfortable saying, no matter how much I wanted them to do so on the nightly news.
D.) The name associated with the night the Playboy bunnies staged a coup against Hugh.
E.) The illicit offspring of James Bond and Pussy Galore.
The answer: B and C. Not to get all Cold War on your ass (if I'm going to type pussy a bunch of times, I might as well feel comfortable typing the word ass), but if you haven't heard, the Russians are playing fast and loose with those who creatively protest against the government. The Prime Minister announced today that maybe it's time to release them from jail ... so fingers crossed for the Pussy Riot girls!
