Nick clarifies the Russian currency thing:
The funny thing is that it probably wasn't taken down for reasons of public decency. In Russia, its illegal to advertise using other currencies.
However, as with most laws, this hasn't prevented Russian businesses from using dollars as the price. Instead of writing $50, they write 50 y.e. (pronounced "Oo-yeh") is Russian for "conditional unit" and that miraculously means the ruble equivalent of $50.
