On Russia Blowing The Semi-Finals In The European Football Cup

Excerpt from Instant Message Conversation:

1:53:05 AM] English Teacher X says: My condolences on your humiliating defeat as a nation

[1:54:31 AM] Supernatasha says: havent you learnt in these 7+ years that joking about defeats is possible only the next morning the earliest... No wonder you get beaten up so often

[1:54:50 AM] English Teacher X says: yeah, but it's already the next morning, sweetheart
[1:54:56 AM] English Teacher X says: that's why I get beaten up so often

[1:55:37 AM] English Teacher X says: and when we get beaten, we joke about it immediately.

As English Teacher Q once said: God only gives people any taste of success so that it will be that much more painful when they eventually fail.

A couple of fake lesbian 16 year olds who sing like a couple of cats in a sack? Obviously a license to print money!

My friend thought it was the stupidest thing he'd ever seen in his life. I bet him a bottle of vodka that they'd be in heavy rotation on MTV by the end of the year -- as it happened, the video for "All The Things She Said" started playing heavily on MTV the very first week of the next year, so I lost the bet.

They quickly fizzled out, though, even in Russia -- they lost Eurovision a few years ago, failed to sell any seats at a Wembley concert, and quickly went the reality show route.

But take a look at THIS abomination.

The book upon which it is based as written by a Russian politician, interestingly...
