If you haven’t seen the Kremlin’s latest event posting, with Putin’s excessive display of machismo, you’re totally missing out. It’s like the dude just stepped out of the latest Bass Pro Shops catalog:
(And if you, too, would like a body like Putin’s, be sure to pick up Wednesday’s issue of Komsomolskaya Pravda, which details an exercise regime that will have you looking like Vladimir Vladimirovich in no time).
My favorite photo, though, is this one:
We already know that President Bush’s iPod playlist is rather bland (well, for my taste. No “Killing in the Name of” by RATM? Come on). Let’s imagine that Putin’s ginormous AKG headphones are hooked up to an iPod. What’s on the Russian President’s playlist? He admitted to being a Beatles fan in his youth, but maybe he’s got some Kino, Zemfira, Leningrad, Bi-2, and DDT MP3s on there as well? Or does he just have “Takogo kak Putin” on repeat?
From W. Shedd:
How about Mumiy Troll?
or SoSo Pavliashvili?
From boris:
You know, Putin is a Judo master.
From Lindsay:
Soso Pavlishvili? LoL, I could see that.
And yeah, I think we are constantly reminded by the press that Putin is a judo master.
From Ryan:
I sent this to a friend in Russia and she thought it was hilarious. She’s very pro-Putin.
From Milo:
Beatles? Gotta be “Back in the USSR.” Seriously, though, your erudition both frightens and fills me with awe.
I’ve been flipping through your blog for five minutes, and I already love your stuff.
*Throws you the horns*
Rock. The Fuck. On!
From taku:
Putin is shy.
