Pussy Riot sentence brings dissent to the masses
"It might be possible for the Russian leadership — or the Chinese leadership, or the Iranian leadership — to block the Web sites of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, but will they eventually have to banTheHollywoodGossip.com and E! Online as well? How about Al-Jazeera? Or South African Web sites that report “human interest” stories involving girl punk rockers?
