Демократия в действии
Американская новостная программа "Democracy Now!" выложила передачу по поводу Pussy Riot". Вот фрагментик:
AMY GOODMAN: I wanted to read-to bring you a guest we had on our show just after the verdict was handed down. Democracy Now! interviewed JD Samson, a feminist punk musician here in the United States, a member of two bands, Le Tigre and MEN. We asked her to read some of the lyrics Pussy Riot performed during their punk prayer inside the church.
JD SAMSON: The song was called, "Punk Prayer 'Virgin Mary, Put Putin Away.'"
Virgin Mary, Mother of God, put Putin away
Put Putin away, put Putin away
Black robe, golden epaulettes
All parishioners crawl to bow
The phantom of liberty is in heaven
Gay-pride sent to Siberia in chains
The head of the KGB, their chief saint,
Leads protesters to prison under escort
In order not to offend His Holiness
Women must give birth and love
Virgin Mary, Mother of God, become a feminist
Become a feminist, become a feminist.
Заметили подвох? Правильно, это половина текста, кроме "срани господней". То есть, у них, конечно, демократическая передача, но "срань господня" - это уже не формат. Это они выдать в эфир не могут. Получается, в церкви такое петь можно, а вот в эфире самой свободной страны в мире - нельзя.
