Russian Diplomat Demands Apology for Blaming Russia in "Gravity"

Secretary of State John Kerry met with his Russian counterpart in Paris today over Ukraine, but the subject took an unexpected turn when the Russian Foreign Minister demanded an apology for Russia being blamed for causing the orbital cataclysm in the movie Gravity. "We are sick and tired of being portrayed as the villains of your disingenuous capitalist science fiction propaganda," said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, adding: "Blame another country's space program in the home video and On Demand versions of Gravity, or else we'll take military action against your face."

Apparently Russia has been fuming over being blamed in the science fiction hit, and when it won a bunch of Oscars, that was the last straw.
