Russia to outlaw emo

[Reliant121]

Stereotypical crap.

Goth - Musically, it is more metal than anything. Clothing tends to be masculine and baggy, sometimes leather and often black or red. Hair is not relevant

Emo - Musically, a watered down metal with concentration on lyrics. often has screaming in it. Clothing is always tight to the body, skinny jeans and the like. Band tees are common, as are the colours black, red, white, pink, purple and occasionally green. Fringe is normally in front of one eye, often black but not always. Studded belts are a plus.

Actually it looks like part of the likely emo ban law will be website regulation. Which would imply Russia has/will have Chinese government style internet control. Which would be a part of the general backslide we've been seeing out of Russia.

Rochey seems to think this is business as usual but considering the business as usual with Russia seems to involve nuclear bombing drills I'd really rather pass.

Also emos out protesting. For what good it'll do them, at least they tried.

They do seem to be suffering from some naivity though.

"How can you stop people from expressing themselves, from dressing how they like, from living a way of life that doesn't harm anyone?"

A: Well their law will shut down an array or websites, probably music sales, and then more importantly they're making it illegal to dress that way in government builidngs and schools. So they'll probably just ask you to change first and then if need follow up with a little.

It really does sadden me at this kind of thing. I really cant see any reasonable point.

I mean COME ON! Look at that officers smug little face. God i'd live to smack his lights in.

Dude, chill.

Dude, what he said.

The obliterated pillow lying at the end of my bed, along with the decapitated paddington bear stand testiment to my anger.

sometimes i think i need anger management.

I could still quite happily bomb them to hell.

Maybe it's just the new digital age. But it seems like a waste we don't have a video of that on youtube...

Poor padington gave his life for naught.

The look on that Russian cops face is priceless. I wonder if they get their uniforms out of the bargin bin, that jackets a good two sizes to big for him.

You mean an agent who retired, or one who WAS retired?

[Mikey]
