Pussy Riot Releases Music Video Shot at Olympics

Includes footage of them being attacked

While the world's attention is focused on Russia for the Olympics, protest collective/punk band/righteous agitators Pussy Riot are grabbing headlines again — this time for a music video that includes footage of the group being publicly beaten by the Russian militia.

"Putin Will Teach You How To Love" features the members of the group, in their trademark colorful balaclavas, storming through the streets of Sochi, dancing in front of the Olympic rings, interacting with a weird looking mascot, and getting pummeled by Russian militia forces. The protesters include Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, both of whom were recently released from a Russian prison.

They're using Cossacks with horsewhips as militia in Sochi. The Czars would have approved. Actually, the Czars would have had them using horse, swords, and rifle butts if not rifles, so a small step forward in over a century.

So they do do music. huh!

Not really.

Or if so, they're REALLY bad at it.

There are a lot of authoritarian douche-bags in the world.

That's funny. Right after they started playing, my dog jumped up and ran out the dog door. I guess she didn't like their music.
