Doug --- According to Komsomolskaya Pravda, anyway, the network blew up and the next show they went on demanded they take the shirts off (they got lots of gloating calls from Russian-speakers pointing out that they'd been fooled).

It is going to be a pleasure to watch this unfold. Tatu is a shock-rock group, the product of Malcolm McLaren-style Sevengali Ivan Shapovalov. The video for Prostiye Dvizheniniye (Simple Motions) starts off with shots of animals fucking, and then cuts to Yulya Volkova masturbating.
