Help me here, folks...

[markvid]

Am I missing something?
Is this a common thing that's done in that part of the world or is Putin nuts?

Maybe he gave him a zzrrrbbbbbttttttt. [/Bill Cosby]

 

[alleyallen]

Sounds like he's nuts because the kid and the crowd were apparently astonished by the whole thing.

That's just weird.

 

[alleyallen]

I wonder if he was singing that Elton John song ...

"Oh Nikita you're the only one ..."

I bet the boy was really a midget spy operative, with the secret codes stickied to his belly.

You never know.

 

[alleyallen]

Putin tries the new Russian version of scratch -n- sniff.

 

[Freelance Hack]

I give my kid zzzrrrbbbttts all the time, but he's 2 and he's my kid.

That kid looks to be at least 6. Too old to be zzzrrrbbbttted.

 

[The Big Ragu]

Well, the kid should look at the bright side. At least Leonid Breshnev doesn't run the country anymore.

 

[Ace]

Putin is just a dog sniffing to see where Michael Jackon has been.

 

[spnited]

Is "Putin" the Russian word for "pervert?"

 

[Freelance Hack]

Well, the kid should look at the bright side. At least Leonid Breshnev doesn't run the country anymore.

Or Nikita Khrushchev for that matter. Kid would have ended up getting a shoe upside the head.

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch

no markvid, you're not nuts. putin is. what a tool. i mean it's one thing to be spontaneous and quirky but flaky and bizarre is not a characteristic i want in the leader of one of the world's superpowers (or at least a country with lots of nuclear weapons).

Geez, Leo, like you haven't you ever seen a handsome, blond 5-year-old and felt compelled to stop and kiss his naked belly. ::)

If only I had a nickle for every time I've felt like doing that, I'd have enough money to post bail. ::)

Didn't Putin do something perverty/nutty like this before? I seem to recall it had something to do with someone else's blood.

Of course, he was also the earlier recipient of the George W. Bush Optical-Entry Soul Scan(tm) which immediately made him a member of a very interesting group of close personal friends of the president...

Putin clearly wanted to ... ahh, nevermind.

Helter skelter. Helter skelter. [/robinwilliams]

he walked off with bob kraft's super bowl ring. not in the same category of perversion or wierdness but still pretty bizarre.
