A six-foot-tall memorial in St.
Petersburg, Russia celebrating the accomplishments of former Apple
CEO Steve Jobs has reportedly been torn down.
According to Russian media reports, the
giant interactive iPhone was removed in response to current Apple CEO
Tim Cook's recent announcement that he is “proud to be gay.”
Vocativ.com
reports that the memorial has stood in the yard of a St.
Petersburg technical university since January 2013.
The memorial's touch screen doled out
biographical information about Jobs' accomplishments. The monument
also took photos and emitted free wi-fi.
The memorial was commissioned by the
West European Financial Union, whose director, Maksim Dolgopolov,
said in a press release that the memorial violated the nation's law
prohibiting “gay propaganda” to minors. Dolgopolov said that he
is considering replacing the monument with one that encourages people
not to use Apple products.
Yes, they should get rid of all modern technology and go back to horse and buggy and word of mouth communication, mandatory church attendance or they could erect a monument that is more representative to Russian moral integrity, lets say...a giant stature of an elderly man fornicating with his teenage daughter while she sucks off a dog...since both bestiality and incestial marriage are legal in this moral Christian society so consumed with worry about what kind of subversive sexual orientation their children might be exposed too.

Russia is so fucked up with Putin in charge. It's not OK to be gay, but it's OK to kill Journalists, take over companies and put the CEO's in jail, annex Crimea, start a war in Ukraine, threaten other neighboring countries...the list goes on.
