The phrase “land of the free” has not yet been used to describe Russia and, now that the country has decided to ban people from fishing in toilets, it most likely never will.

The picture above was shared on Twitter by snowboarder Sebastien Toutant, who explained that the funny sign featured in it was on display in the athletes' rooms in Sochi, the city housing this year's Winter Olympics.

“Well that's interesting...Sochi rules in the bathrooms!! #haha #olympics,” Sebastien Toutant wrote in the message accompanying this picture, as cited by Mirror.

Not at all surprisingly, the picture went viral just hours after making it online.

No information on the topic has yet been shared with the public, but I for one would very much like to know what God-awful punishment awaits those who decide to break this very strict rule, grab a rod and try and catch a fish or two in the toilet.
