Pussy Riot Nominated For Luther Prize

The German town of Wittenberg is under fire for nominating Russian punk group Pussy Riot for a prize to honor the three members who were jailed for protesting against President Vladimir Putin during a church service. Theologians and politicians say the band shouldn’t be rewarded for offending Christians.

For staging a protest in a church, just like the person who the prize is named after. Great choice.
