Puppetry Of The Putin
By Wyatt Earp | March 5, 2012
Think our presidential elections are brutal? Look what they’re doing to Vladimir Putin.
In a new puppet show satire of Russia’s presidential election, the only competition is in the mind of Vladimir Putin, as he fights the loss of his penis. The Moscow Museum of Erotic Art’s show, due to premiere on the eve of the election, lampoons the current prime minister’s easy dominance of Russian politics, but also shows the former KGB spy fighting his demons and torn between tyranny and democracy.
The play is based on Nikolai Gogol’s short story The Nose, which tells the tale of an official whose nose leaves him one day to lead a life of its own. In the museum’s version, Russia’s “alpha-dog” leader loses his genitalia, becoming an impotent “anti-Putin” until he finally rediscovers them.
In fairness, Putin could probably kill your with a swizzle stick. This play would be much more appropriate with a president who actually lost his genitals.

That takes balls to put out that play.
Putin isn’t noted for his humanity, sense of humor or restraint with opponents.
Yeah.
Something tells me the people responsible for this will be carrying theirs around in a paper bag.
If Putin’s in a good mood that day.
OT. You still watch the Walking Dead? The pace has picked up this season IMO.
Veeshir – Although I heard he just cried when he heard he was re-elected. Puss-aah!
AJ – Religiously. This week was awesome, but I don’t want to post any spoilers.
