Russian Politician Beats Off Flying Penis.

And no, that isn't a joke.  Supporters of Vladimir Putin pulled this prank at a speech by prominent opposition leader and former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov:

Next time you're tempted to complain about the pettiness or rudeness of either Hillary or Barack's supporters, just remember two things:

1. Neither candidate's supporters have unleashed a flying penis, which puts us a few steps above Russian political discourse.
2. Even if they did, the targeted candidate wouldn't have to worry about whether or not the flying penis might also be a bomb.  Once again, that puts us a step above Russia...and a lot of other nations, actually.

Just putting things in perspective a little.  Now, let the inevitable bad jokes commence.

(And yes, I was in fact tempted to title this diary "Russian Politician Beats Off Flying Penis."  Man oh man, was I tempted...)

EDIT: Screw it, I'm giving in to the temptation. After all, how often am I going to get an opportunity like this? DOUBLE EDIT: Apparently, translated, the exchange after the penis is swatted down goes as follows.
SOMEONE IN THE CROWD: The opposition shows its true face!

KASPAROV: Well, if that's its face...

Oh, the Secret Service would worry about (2.00 / 2)

an "explosion" from the flying penis; frankly, it would suck (yes, poor choice of words in context) if it didn't do something.

sometimes a penis is just a penis (2.00 / 1)

I'm reminded of those old plots to get rid of Castro with an exploding cigar . . .

1. You need to learn to give into such temptations -- doing so will make the world a better place.

2. I only wish our candidates' supporters were creative enough to pull stuff like this.

ROFL! (2.00 / 1)

That's hilarious. Nearly choked on my drink. This is what our politics is missing, you know. I'm sure everyone would lighten up if the occasional flying penis whipped around the room during debates. I'd love to see the look on McCain's face if he saw that thing coming at him. (No pun intended.)


Even John McCain lusts after teh engels.

Yep. (2.00 / 2)

Gotta give it to the Putin supporters...they can really get it up!


Wouldn't it be nice if there were no rhetorical questions?

I wish I could understand what he said after the "attack." It seemed to have gotten some laughs.

I bet it wouldn't have been handled so calmly here; probably everone in the room would have been immediately strip searched--well, at least, half the room.

Yeah, saw this earlier.

Quite hilarious and strange.

BTW, is anyone else now completely convinced that the MSM simply gets its news from the internet?  This and the Hagee "Hitler" stuff were on the net all day but didn't make the normal coverage, but then, suddenly, they're all over the evening cable news shows.  

Makes you wonder why we actually need cable news.


No way. No how. No McCain.

That's it. You win the internet.


Hooray for John McCain!

It just doesn't get any better than this! (2.00 / 2)

My god!  The look on everyone's face when they realized what it was.  I've never seen a helicopter penis before.  I gots to get me one of those!!!

Am I the only one that was kinda bummed to see the wang-copter get completely annihilated by that guy?  During a replay I found myself thinking "pull up!  quick!  he's gonna put the smack down!" only to see the heli-wang get knocked completely across the room again.

Ahh, finals week has made me delirious.


And so, may evil beware and may good dress warmly and eat lots of fresh vegetables.
