A court in the Kaluga Region of Russia has ruled that a painting of Jesus Christ with the head of Mickey Mouse is offensive and banned it from being exhibited.
I'm surprised the insanely litigious Disney estate wasn't all over this. Perhaps they've finally given up their aggressive attempt at hobbling appropriative art.

They may have just heard about it (just like the rest of us). Maybe an international lawsuit will ensue.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Good for you! I'm not sure even Jesus would be offended (I think I can hear him chuckling in the background). If it had been Daffy Duck, though, he may have been upset.

It's true they may not have got wind of it, but it doesn't matter. They wouldn't get anywhere in a Russian court and an international court would not have any teeth (thank goodness).
