8 bat-shit examples for Russia's Fuhrer-cult about Putin.

The article is from 2011.

http://www.cracked.com/blog/8-hilariously-insane-examples-vladimir-putin-propaganda/

8. A publicity-stunt where 1000 women allowed a comedian to grab their tits because something-something Putin.

("Donald Trump shook my hand. I would like to pass the positive energies on to your tits." - Although, Trump has a famous relationship with another female body-part.)



7. A comic about Super-Putin fighting evil.

In one scene he summons the spirit of wisdom (in a state Godzilla-breeding farm run by a mystic kung fu master) by pouring a bottle of Stolichniya into a mystic cauldron to summon Darth Vader, who uses the flaming heart of democracy to turn the Russian Bear Spirit into Dmitri Medvedev. There was not a single metaphor in that sentence.



6. Several brands of Putin Vodka.



5. A music-video where two women dump their boyfriends because "He Must Be Like Putin"



4. A video-game where Putin walks around and punches masked terrorists.



3. A publicity-stunt where half-naked women washed cars and called themselves the "Putin Army".



2. Putin was spontaneously called from the audience of an MMA-championship to hand out the trophy.



1. There is literally a religious cult (of old ladies) who worships Putin as a saint.

Oh boy, those Americans are so emotional and irrational. Why can't they be more civilized and measured like Russia?
