Madonna sued in Russia ...............
« on: August 19, 2012, 11:26:31 AM »
For someone who is 55 going on 15...what should they expect?

Quote
MOSCOW –  Some Russian activists have sued Madonna for millions of dollars, claiming they were offended by her support for gay rights during a recent concert in St. Petersburg.
Anti-gay sentiment is strong in Russia. In St. Petersburg, a law passed in February makes it illegal to promote homosexuality to minors, and the author of that law has pointed to the presence of children as young as 12 at Madonna's concert on Aug. 9.

So how those 12 y.olds got to see Madonna's concert?

Russian concert agencies don't care who, how and where they sell the tickets to, they make their profit... the more the better. Parents? They don't care as well if they take their children to such concerts,  but many of them will not miss an opportunity to make money. They took an offer they could not refuse.  ;D

Typical Russian politics.

Welcome to capitalism.

I hear you  :D

BTW the Petersburg Sports and Concert Complex under the government control as well, Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation, they make good money from renting it out   ;D and not only from rent as you can see.
