American rock group Bloodhound Gang has been barred from a music festival in Russia, the Russian Culture Minister said, after a band member shoved the country's flag into his underpants during a gig.

FOOLS! Someday these cool hip radials who mock America will be tearfully trying to rebuild what they once hated with such abandon.
