Theater's poster boy

Grzegorz Jarzyna, director of the Rozmaitości Theater, may have broken Poland's penal code, which forbids the desecration of national symbols.

Jarzyna's theater created a poster, which features the Polish national eagle without a head, and with blood spouting from its neck, to advertise its latest project. Jarzyna said that the picture represents Poland which, like the eagle, "has wings, but doesn't really think much - it has no head."

Janusz Kaczmarek, the director of the national prosecutor's bureau, said: "This is a case of breaking the Constitution, and of the penal code, particularly article 137 ... which says that public profanation of the eagle is punishable by a fine or by one year in jail."
