Word has it, that ol' Poo-tin is shitting himself, re. what's happening in Kiev right now.
Before then, he was criticised by Sir Elton John, when Poo-tin claimed he 'wasn't homophobic'. If I was Sir Elton, I'd have pressed him further: If you're not as 'homophobic' as you claim: PROVE it.'
And frankly, even teh ebil gheys are the least of his problems: there's the little matter of security at the upcoming 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics (and you thought LOCOG/David Cameron had worries, re. security a coupla years ago, Vladdy-boy...?!).
Could it perhaps be that which has rocketed the costs to $51 billion, making even these (by definition smaller-scale) games even more expensive than China's 2008 Beijing Olympics ($44 billion)...?!
PROTIP: Just a few years ago, Montreal finished paying for it's 1976 Olympics. 2012 London Olympics: completed 6 months ahead of schedule, and £1 billion UNDER budget (total: £9.3 billion). [/hyper-smug]
Not even Russia's gas reserves will be able to save you from the massive debt Sochi's gonna leave your country, and it's voters who'll be the ones to fill up that fiscal hole. Still, at least said hole will serve a purpose. As said voters will (metaphorically) fill it up: with you in it.
Like I say, Poo-tin: frankly, you pissing off teh ebil gheys is the least of your problems. Enjoy your Olympics, pal, without a representative from the US to show it off to (even we had First Lady Michelle Obama at our London Olympics [/hyper-smug II]). [/hyper-Schadenfreude]
...oh, and o CavsFan, watch in said Sochi Olympics, as even Russia is annihilated by the new Red Machine: Canada. [/USSR] [/2010 Vancouver] >:D
