Holy crap, does this real life GTA show in Russia sound like fun or what?
I would totally kick ass at this.

Um, just what it sounds like.
Somehow, I think the purity of the fights are ruined by the narration. I like the insect equivalent of MMA, though.

Sometimes it’s nice to know that others feel the same as me. Real men shoot hippos (or at least pretend to with cap guns), indeed.

BTW I’m listening to Al Jazeera News in English in the background here and they just announced that Japan has officially taken Humpback whales off the hunting list this season. Yay, Japan. Or something.

English Russia has the scoop on a Russian online community, members of which enjoy making staged photos such as:

“A Cheating Wife: You need to make a photo of a man, “a lover”, hanging outside the real window. The window should be not lower than a 3rd store of a multi-stored building. “A husband” should lean out from another window with a gun, aiming at “the lover”. From yet another window “the cheating wife” should look out in despair.”
“The Waiter: A man dressed like a water should crawl out of a refuse chute in some multi-stored building, right from the disposal opening. He should hold a tray with some servings and a towel in another hand”
“A Zombie: A man, rolled up in bandages should crawl on his stomach at a pedestrian crossing. He should have a knife sticking out of his back. Another guy should chase him with a working chainsaw”
“The Pickles: Make a photo of many jars of pickles. Some of them should have pickled cell-phones. Not less than five cell phones in each jar please”
“A Pyramid: You should have a three level pyramid on the photo. The first level is some random truck, the second is a passenger car and some two-wheeled thing on the top of “the pyramid” please.”

You really need to go check out the results.
I found the ubiquity of red underwear very curious.

“dogfighting conspiracy”
It sounds much more sinister than all those petty homicides, domestic abuse cases, and war deaths today in this fine world. Thank you, CNN Breaking News.

Say what?
