Time for some Google Goggles, eh?  Puts me in mind of the time that former U.S. Vice President Dan Quayle went after the fictional character Murphy Brown for having a child out of wedlock on national television.  Except, of course, that in this case the three girls are going to apparently be spending hard time in some of Russia's less picturesque spots for having a bit of fun with the Powers That Be.  The Russian government should know better -- this is the kind of thing that makes it difficult to justify a touristy visit to their fine country.
