Bloodhound Gang - russian flag incident

[jidosha]

---

While playing a concert in Ukraine last week, bassist Jared "Hasselhoff" Victor Hennegan placed a Russian flag down his pants and pulling it out from his rear on stage in front of a crowd. He did state "Don't tell Putin" (Putin, being the current president of russia) while a roaring crowd cheers on. Unfortunately a video of it went on to youtube and russian officials were not happy. The band was almost charged, but just ended up being deported when they got in to Russia and ultimately cancelling shows.

Just because they are a big and long running band, doesn't mean they can do just whatever or go disgrace a flag! Although it goes to the punk attitude they have been known for. I respect the guts and balls Jared did, i admit it was punk of him. It's just knowing where the lines is.

this is anti-authority attitude that went out of control. it would have made sense if they were stating a point, pero this was just pure nonsense.
