Battle for Respect!
That was the name of the show that Vladimir Putin appeared on this weekend in ol Mother Russia. The clip below shows segments of a series that aired on Muz TV, the Russian equivalent of MTV. (Except that they seem to actually play music). Putin has been on a tour of the country lately, in the hopes of spreading his image as a man of the people. You know, because nothing says, “I am just like everyone else”, like the ability to murder journalists who criticize you and do it publicly without repercussion.
Crap, I just heard someone slam a car door outside.
Seeing as that I may be minutes away from a polonium-210 induced death, take a gander at the INTENSE awkwardness that is about to unfold in this clip. I haven’t seen a white guy this nervous since I showed up to the NAACP Halloween costume party, dressed as Clarence Thomas.

Putin is so powerful in Russia, that he rides blindfolded and wills the horse where he wants to go. Plus, he has moobs.
