Putin Breaks Back Hang-Gliding With Birds?

What the?

Oh Vlad, you conservationist, you. Did Pussy Riot do some witchcraft or something? What the fuck is going on here?

Putin is like the evil version of that "most interesting man in the world" from the Dos Equis ads.

There is nothing more hilarious than the continued slow trickle of "Putin tries to look badass" stories. It's like a Democratic presidential candidate trying to shore up his guns-n-hunting credentials, but on steroids. Judo tournaments, shirtless posing, the works. If there's anything to the whole "subconscious overcompensation for masculine anxiety" thing, then Putin's must be so tiny it's the subject of conjecture amongst theoretical physicists.

WARNING! WARNING! PUTIN CONFIDENCE LEVEL AT 3.8 NANOCOCKS AND DROPPING! UKRAINE INVASION IN 10... 9... 8...

Wait, you don't think he's really a badass?

DAMN you Anna Paquin!

You guys need to stop it! The man is an inspiration to bald guys with comb overs everywhere! ;-)

Boris Samcrowsky.

Really, it was a tourette-like reflex.

Also, most of those bikers seem to be on some sort of traction. Walker? Cane? Got shot in the leg or just a tumble off their vodka-fueled Hogs of the Proletariat?

He seems to be doing fine to me.

See Anna Paquin plays a young girl who finds some baby geese that imprint on her and she has to teach them to fly South...

I cannot dislike this man.

I just can't.
