Speaking outside the Kremlin, Mr Putin said "This new law is not discriminatory against Lady Gaga. It simply protects our children from being exposed to her."
Protests against the law by fans of the popstar have been forcibly dispersed by the police, with several protesters hospitalised. One man said "I was arrested and held without charge for 36 hours, just for having Bad Romance on my iTunes. Luckily for me, they destroyed my computer before they could find all the child pornography"

Critics have said that the new law represents a personal attack on the popstar, after Mr Putin took offence at her assertion that he could not 'read her poker face'.
Lady Gaga reacted angrily on Twitter, accusing Putin of Gagaphobia. At a press conference in Miami, while wearing a dress made out of dead babies, she said "I'm a political activist, and that scares him [Putin]. I change the world by making inane comments on a social media website aimed at people with limited intelligence and short attention spans, i.e. most of my fans. Most recently, I've been posting about how important I am in fighting homophobia in Russia, which will make a huge difference to all the gay people being beaten up by neo-nazi thugs".
President Obama attempted to make a statement regarding the new law, but found himself gripped by an acute attack of apathy after hearing 'Do what you want' on the radio. He managed to say "Er... She doesn't really do anything, she's kinda like the appendix of the modern world", before yawning himself into a coma.
Mr Putin was due to respond to criticisms of the law at a UN summit, when he was interrupted by Kanye West, who grabbed the mic and said "Yo Putin, I'ma let you finish, but Kim Kardashian is the most pointless, obscene waste of life of all time".
Did Kanye say that before or after Miley decided her 'wrecking ball' scene was an 'homage' to all the lives Putin was wrecking?
