Russia: Tits for Putin
July 18th, 2011Via: Independent:
Young women across Russia have been called on to show their support for Vladimir Putin in an unusual way: by ripping off their clothes. The unexpected campaign has been launched by a group calling itself the Putin Army, which posted a slick video online at the weekend featuring a trio of young women announcing a competition.
“I’m just crazy about a man who changed our country,” says a voiceover, as we see “Diana” walking through Moscow, while the camera frequently hovers over her sizeable bust. “He’s a great politician, and an amazing man. He’s Vladimir Putin,” she says, adding that despite the millions who admire him, there are some who “pour dirt on him, maybe because they are scared of him, or because they themselves are weak”.
Old-school demagoguery meets New-School marketing for the Porn Generation. Bernays meets KPMG for the clubbing generation.
Obviously, if attractive, well-endowed Muscovite hotties think Vlad the Impaler’s a real man’s man, then all those persistent and pesky rumours about young boys must be completely unsubstantiated.
And yes, I admit that I clicked through to the video only to check out the lovely ladies.
While in this case, I may not be buying, but the sex keeps right on selling.
