Lyudi Invalidy

Once again making a roaring success of manufactured controversy, t.A.T.u. are being threatened with legal action as a result of their latest single. Beware cheap sensationalism or forever shall it be your destiny: I am looking at you Yulia and Lena. No, seriously.

An ombudsman in Russia’s northern province of Komi is set to sue the pop group T.A.T.U. as he seeks compensation for damage allegedly inflicted on the disabled by the duo who have titled one of their songs “Lyudi Invalidy” or “Invalid People”. ... The ombudsman said the defendants could also face criminal charges for libel. But even if the court refuses to uphold libel charges against T.A.T.U. the singers will have to compensate society for moral damages, he said.

Mmm. Moral damages.

Is that why the blog smelled like lawyers rushing to the feed? I bet it was the word 'damages.'
