The Best Of Pravda
From the "We Are Not Alone" Department comes this:
This tells us why we must be careful when we have this argument in our nation -- it's not about religion, its about history. Russia's history and orhtodoxy are virtually inseperable, this move denies their national identity as much as the same moves by the ACLU in this country do.
I am not sure the Russians have marketing figured out just yet. Still mired in the age of buying simply what was available, they haven't quite discovered the need to actually appeal to the consumer:
Cheese=delicious is good marketing, but those first few words kind of spoil the affect. Back to the marketing classes.
Finally, I don't know what's funnier in this story, the fact that Pravda is reading like the Weekly World News, or the fact that the translation of the headline is oxymoronic:
I wonder if the Frisbee people have considered a square model?
