Public TV as guardian of public morals?

According to a witness, yesterday Azeri Public TV held a press-conference for AySel & Arash, Azerbaijan's Eurovision 2009 entrants who came third in the contest. In the very beginning of the conference, the Deputy Director of Azeri Public TV got furious at a 14-year-old boy for wearing shorts and ordered him to be removed out of the building. Deputy Director reportedly said: "What a shame! How one can come here in shorts? Take him out of here!" Thus the boy was taken out of the building crying.

So much for being an AySel & Arash fan...
