Европа свободолюбивая

Nov 23, 2007 20:04

Скандал с карикатурами на Магомета все помнят? Помните, что вся прогрессивная мировая общественность гневно заклеймила попытки исламских фундаменталистов ограничить свободу слова европейских СМИ? Опять о ней, о родимой - свободе слова по-европейски: ... two Spanish satirists were found guilty of the crime of offending the Spanish royal family by publishing a cartoon of the crown prince and his wife having sex.

Designed to satirize the Spanish government's policy of paying families to produce children, it depicted the crown prince saying, "Do you realize that if you get pregnant this will be the closest thing I've done to work in my whole life?" Every copy of the El Jueves magazine that showed the cartoon on its cover was seized by the police and destroyed. The judicial system ruled that the two men "had vilified the crown in the most gratuitous and unnecessary way" and imposed fines of 3,000 euros on each.
