Nine Russian activists are
suing Madonna for millions. They were offended by
her support of homosexual rights during a concert in Petersburg. A February Petersburg law makes it illegal “to promote
homosexuality to minors” and reportedly there were children as young as nine at
the Madonna concert. They are demanding $10.5 million in damages.
Madonna is not the only
one. Three residents of Novosibirsk are suing
the jailed Pussy Riot Punk Rock girls for 30,000 rubles (about a thousand dollars) for hurt feelings
caused by the punk rockers behavior in a Moscow
cathedral.
U.

plane to Russia.
Maybe you can learn how to sue for hurt feelings in the United States
where big bucks are at stake.
