Russian Freedom...

Yes, we do have community service, and no, your source in your other thread has it wrong: there was no service so they couldn't've interrupted it and there are no expletives in the song "Theotokos, deliver us from Putin".
I personally am fine with community service as the best fitting punishment, but I guess the subject of the song didn't like it.

The accounts actually weren't clear about the precise circumstances; I sort of assumed there was a service or there wouldn't have been anyone to notice. Were they putting on a show for tourists? I guess it doesn't matter. As for the expletives, I've read that the lyrics include "****, ****, holy ****" or something like that--a sort of parody of the trisagion, I guess--and "You believe in Putin; ***** (suka), better believe in God." Are those complete fabrications, or are the words used not considered profane in Russian? Like I said, the accounts are hazy and often contradictory.

At least they arent being sent to Siberia for the rest of the brief lives.

Things are improving

IIRC during the concert Magonna stomped on an Orthodox cross. How would we feel about this law suit if for example she had trammeled a Menorah?

No one cares about the cross, it's propaganda of homosexuality among minors that she's sued for. Apparently, according to this law you cannot even tell that some men **** each other in the ass until they are 18.

Now that you've mentioned it, these are actually mild expletives. The first one is not a parody of trisagion, the word is repeated several times to fit the rhythm (holy, holy, holy sh!t). The other one is correct, except they are not addressing the listener, they're talking about the patriarch (the one with the reverse vampiric watch).
Actually, they didn't sing this in the church, as they got kicked out real fast.

Onodera, can you say anything about a claim I have read in a danish newspaper : They only mimed in the church and music+song was added later.

Do you think there are readily available electric sockets in Orthodox churches for people to plug their electric guitars in? Of course the music and the song were recorded separately. They might've tried to sing *something* in the church, though.

[Dr Strangelove]

There would be electric sockets at least somewhere in most American churches. Electricity has been around for over one hundred years. We use electric lights, electric organs, microphones, amplifiers. Besides, weren't most of those churches museums at some point during the Soviet era?

[Elok]

The cathedral in question was destroyed by the Communists ages ago, and recently rebuilt using tons of donations. I guess they felt including electric sockets would be unfaithful to the original? Dunno. My church building has electric sockets, but then it was built for some kind of Protestant sect in the early 1900s or thereabouts. Anyway, from the sound of it they didn't have time to set up an amp whether there were sockets available or not.

Also, Madonna would NEVER stomp on a Menorah. She's totally into Judaism and the Kabbalah and stuff. Especially the parts she thinks are about the clitoris.

[onodera]

The cathedral in question is huge. Also, it's not a Catholic or Protestant church with rows and rows of benches and an altar on the far narrow side. It's nearly square, and the ambon is quite far from the nearest wall.

Exactly the same?
