Can't the Danes make international news some other way?
RFE/RL: An international media watchdog group says a Danish cartoonist has been arrested in Vienna over a poster portraying the image of Russian President Vladimir Putin within a shooting target. The International Press Institute says cartoonist Jan Egesborg was arrested while putting up the poster in a metro station. Text on the poster asks whether Putin is involved in the shooting of journalists. Putin is due to visit the Austrian capital on May 23 for talks with President Heinz Fischer, Chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer, and Austrian businessmen. Ahead of his visit, Putin cancelled a planned interview with Austrian State Television station ORF, and the newspaper "Kurier." ORF says the Kremlin pressured it to not run images from the war in Chechnya in a promotional trailer for the interview.
