I need to go back to Russia so I can purchase a stuffed rabbit that sings “Takogo kak Putin.”
Ryan sent me the link this morning:
MOSCOW (AFP) – Stuffed rabbits singing a pop song proclaiming their love for Russian President Vladimir Putin are selling like hot cakes in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg.
The Chinese-made furry toys costing 140 rubles (five dollars) apiece have been all the rage in local markets for the past two months, the daily Komsomolskaya Pravda reported Wednesday.
Their unique selling point is their singing of a pop song called “Like Putin” that was all the rage in Russia in 2002 and whose refrain went:
“I want to change my guy
For a man like Putin,
One like Putin who is so strong,
One like Putin who doesn’t drink,
One like Putin who won’t insult me,
One like Putin who won’t leave me.”
