Bizarre Laws Around The World

Описание: Legislation restricting footwear!? Women under 40 banned from smoking?! Is there any real rhyme or reason behind these laws? Countries around the world have crazy senseless laws, the US included. Cenk Uygur (www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) and Ana Kasparian (www.twitter.com/AnaKasparian) discuss with amusement.

"If Russian lawmakers have their way, smoking for women under 40 will soon be banned, advertisement for condoms and pregnancy tests will be banished from the pages of mainstream media and using foreign words will result in a steep fine.

The latest string of initiatives by MPs have become so bizarre that Russians say they don't know whether to laugh or cry.

One lawmaker with the Russian parliament's lower house, the State Duma, recently proposed introducing official standards for footwear, charging that high heels and ballet flats were bad for women's health.

A legislator from the ruling United Russia party, Elena Mizulina, has put forward so many controversial ideas including proposals to ban abortions and surrogate motherhood that Russians have launched an online petition calling for her sanity to be checked." *

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.

We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.

The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
