Is Russian President Medvedev Too Sensitive?

Dude. It’s just a children’s show.

Theatre posters proclaiming ‘We await you, merry gnome’ were taken down from a Russian town shortly before a visit by the country’s diminutive president, according to a local website.

The advertisements were for a children’s theatre show, but were removed from a street that Dmitry Medvedev’s convoy was due to use on his visit to Omsk on February 12.

Also, 5 foot 4 inches? Not a gnome.
