French Philately Quote Of The Year: By Inna Shevchenko

I think this quote sums up the controversy regarding the new Marianne 2014 stamps:

FEMEN is on French stamp.Now all homophobes,extremists,fascists will have to lick my ass when they want to send a letter. @Femen_France

Now a little background. The latest Marianne stamps design, issued this year, was inspired by Femen leader Inna Shevchenko and it sparked a lot of controversy, especially from right-wing Christians. The topless Femen leader was seen hacking a cross in one of her public appearance.
