This has got to be the weirdest story that Brendan Spaar has heard all week. Russian police raided an art gallery this week and seized a painting of President Vladimir Putin wearing a pink-and-white slip. Some believe this seizure was part of the cleanup that is underway before Russia hosts the G20 summit in St. Petersburg. The city's deputy mayor calls this painting, which features Putin fondeling the hair of a busty Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who is wearing only a bra and panties, pornography and insists that it needed to be removed. The gallery owner was not arrested or charged for displaying the painting but there is a local law that levies fines of up to $15,000 for promotion of sodomy, lesbianism, bisexuality and transgenderism among minors. This painting could fall under that law.
