So yeah, I’m a huge fan of cosplay for many reasons, though I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that the best part is seeing cute/hot chicks dressed up as my fave game characters. And as a MGS4 diehard, I especially approve of the following, by Alina Kacherova, a photographer from Russia.

His subject is Natasha Firsakova, a noted cosplayer from those parts, where cosplaying is serious business, as her DeviantArt page more that demonstrates. She’s supposed to be Laughing Octopus, btw.

You see, one of the best parts of the game is how all the bosses are these messed broads who… eh, it doesn’t matter. But play the game if you haven’t done so already! It’s really good.

For all we know, that’s how every Russian interview segment ends. That donkey is their Walter Cronkite.

I don’t really blame that chick for starting a fight at all. That girl in the Adidas hoodie is rocking the stage with some serious moves that both pop and lock and this stereotypical assless Russian broad has to wander through doing some sort of half-assed humpty hump? She deserves to get her head yanked around for that insult.

Either way, the winner of the video is clearly that daschund. If someone drops a key in my hallway, my dog reacts like there’s a nuclear attack being committed by some guy in a sausage costume. Meanwhile, that dog wandered into the set of “Step Up 3: The Battle for St. Petersburg” and it just leisurely walks across the stage looking for a nap. Have to respect that.

I’m putting the over-under on Putin’s rebuttal video at 3 days. Like, “go ahead and do your modified running man in a well-lit party with a guest list of 10 and a DJ from hell, Dmitri. But don’t mind me when I hit up youtube with a vid of me rolling my face off to Deadmau5 at a Burlusconi bunga bunga surrounded by high class prostitutes. Just gotta prove I’m still the one running this bitch.”

Those damn Russians and their vodka I tell ya. After an improbable comeback in the World Juniors last night that saw the Russian hockey team score five third-period goals to defeat the Canadians, the booze started flowing. And it didn’t stop apparently, even when the players/coaches arrived to the airport for their flights.

About 30 members of the Russian contingent were asked to get off a Delta Air Lines flight to Atlanta after boarding for takeoff early Thursday morning, an airport spokesman said.
“To ensure the safe operation of the flight, the crew of Flight 1266 denied boarding to 30 passengers who were traveling together and displaying unruly behavior,” Delta spokeswoman Susan Chana Elliott said. “The passengers are being rebooked on a future flight.”

So let me get this straight. I get sodomized by TSA regularly while completely sober (felt up in all my special places I might add), but 30 drunk, belligerent Russians somehow waltz through security unimpeded?

Um, where’s Joseph McCarthy when you need him?

38

We’ll get to more LeBron stuff later but in case you missed the shenanigans last night, LeBron dropped 38 points in his first game back in Cleveland. The Heat ended up bombing the Cavs 108-90, and at no time was the game ever in doubt. In fact, the more pressing question became, how many fans would get arrested by the end of the contest.

302

The Eagles staged a 4th quarterback comeback against the Texans to win 34-24 in Thursday night action yesterday. And again, the win propelled Michael Vick into MVP talk. Coming into the season, Vick only had two 300-yard passing games his entire career. This year, he has three including his 302-yard performance against the Texans. No one knows where Vick will ultimately play next season, but it’s a good bet that he’ll be making a lot more money.

2018,2022

Soccer-loving countries Russia and Qatar will host the World Cup in 2018 and 2022 respectively. The decision came as a surprise, because, at the present time, neither are really prepared to handle such a large sporting event. Both the U.S. and England lost out on their bids, even though both were seen as safer picks in the eyes of the soccer community.

65

For only the second time in 2010, a familiar name is atop a golf event. Yes, Tiger Woods, who has arguably had the worst year of his entire life, both on and off the course, is leading the Chevron World Challenge with an opening round 65. It should be noted that there are only 18 players in the entire event, however, all 18 are ranked in the top 50. The way Tiger’s season has gone, he’ll take any win he can get, regardless of field.

90

The 90th football bust for the Michigan Wolverines was slightly more emotional than past end of the year award ceremonies. A teary-eyed Rich Rodriguez essentially begged for Michigan AD David Brandon to keep him on as coach. Though the message was not straightforward, Rodriguez led the team with a Josh Groban song, “You Raise Me Up” as players held hands. Rumors have been swirling that Michigan plans on hiring Jim Harbaugh in the near future, but thus far, the job is still Rodriguez’ through the bowl game.

Personally, I like the part about three minutes in where someone gives him a shirt and he takes it off and throws it defiantly. If you’re going to be a drugged up naked dude, that’s how I want you to act.

It’s also fun to imagine that he thinks he’s Godzilla. Hopping up on cars, general belligerence…throw in some green paint and a screaming Asian girl and you’ve got yourself a hit.

The triumphant winner of the race was St. Petersburg “athlete” Vladislav Pavlenko on his “Vanilla Pelotki” (2 minutes 47 seconds) , followed by Dmitry Arsentiev, another local, who rode “Killer Whale” (2.51). Alexander Marasin, also of St. Petersburg and the owner of “Fearless Zina” (2.55), came third.

Baba translates from Russian as “peasant woman,” but is sometimes used with sexually offensive connotations.

More than 450 thrill-seekers took part in the unorthodox contest, where inflatable babes-turned-boats were given titles no proper regata would ever have accepted. Take, for instance, “Floating Piggy” or “Baby-Barge.” Other bold and sassy names that provided valuable insights into their male riders’ characters and egos, have included “Unstoppable Chick,” “Cuddly Female Racoon,” “Big Tit Excess,” “Sexual Goddess,” “Roach,” “Miss Peep,” “School Girl,” “Indefatiguable” and “Luba For A Price.”

The event, which was first held in 2003, runs under the motto “A Rubber Babe is More Than Just A Vehicle”.

This may very well be the first time a man has held an inflatable woman up brimming with pride and confidence. Personally, I wish they’d branch out from the sex doll races and utilize other tools of the marital aid industry. Would an American Gladiators-esque “joust” with double dong dildos be so much to ask?

He appeared to be okay and he did in fact get his .40 of beer so…the ends justify the means? I’m not sure if there’s really an ethical conundrum when you’re a drunken sot getting shot with an airbag.

I also love how it sounds like they’re playing Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro” as they’re indulging in this silliness. Nothing says “irresponsible mechanic work” better than Lady Gaga’s love of unclipped Latin dongs.

I particularly enjoy the gusto with which he gave the finger. As if to say, “Here it is, baby. Soak it all in.”

However, it’s entirely possible that, in Russian vernacular, giving someone the finger is a sign of utmost respect. Or a sign that vodka is delicious. So many possible rational explanations.

This photo could easily be taken out of context. You just don’t know. Maybe she was packing an extremely dangerous plutonium rod in her cooter. You can see how it’s adversely affecting the officer all the way to the left. Oh, he always looks like that? Well, then. Carry on.

The Chinese take their Olympics very seriously. Take for example the Yao Ming incident from last week. Him and his wife returned to the U.S. to have their baby but the Chinese deemed Yao a traitor because the baby would be born a U.S. citizen. Thus, making the likelihood of said baby playing for the Chinese national team impossible.

Yea, that’s how they roll in China.

But even worse is this incident stemming from the Winter Olympics. Speed skater Zhou Yang was criticized by a government official for not thanking her country immediately after winning the gold medal.

“It’s my dream. After winning the gold I might change a lot, become more confident and help my parents have a better life.”

Seems like a pretty headstrong comment coming from an 18 year old. But China’s General Adminstration of Sport didn’t feel the same way.

“It’s right to respect and thank your parents but you also have to have the country in your heart. The country must come first. Don’t just talk about your parents,” said Yu Zaiqing, deputy director of China’s General Administration of Sport, in widely reported comments earlier this week.

Spoken like a true commie Zaiqing. Personally, I’m hoping you get the Ivan Drago treatment from that skater’s father.

Something along the lines of this.

The subtitles are missing but I’m pretty sure he said, “Suck my balls you communist bastard.” That, or “Bridget Nielson has killer legs.” Something like that…my Russian is a little shaky.

A Russian man is half the weight he used to be after surgeons sliced 267 pounds of fat from his body.

Petr Ferivov of Voronezh, who now weighs 244 pounds, says he was so fat at 511 pounds he could no longer sleep on his back, could barely walk and had abandoned any hope of a sex life, the Austrian Times reports.

The 45-year-old “man mountain” was so overweight he underwent four hours of surgery to have much of the excess fat removed from his abdomen.

Ferivov plans on going on a strict diet to get down to his ideal weight of 182 pounds.

Good for this guy to try to do something to get his weight under control. But at the same time, deciding to go on a strict diet to lose 60 pounds after getting almost 270 lanced off of you like a boil seems kind of silly. It’s like saying you want to compete in a marathon, only to ask a fellow competitor to give you a piggyback ride until the last two miles.

Anyway, that’s a picture of a pound of human flesh and a pound of fat above. If that’s not going to get you to go Karen Carpenter your ass off in the bathroom today, I don’t know what is.

This video is all the rage in Russia, much like stale vodka, governmentally supplied bread, and inspirational messages from punchdrunk American boxers with a speech impediment. What you’re about to witness is the luckiest unlucky guy in the world.

It’s always amazing to me the way that the human body responds to adversity, like old ladies lifting up cars to save babies and babies throwing cars to kill old ladies. This dude clearly hit a gear that he didn’t know he had to avoid that bus. He might have been the fastest man in the world in this particular moment. He probably could have beaten Usain Bolt in a race. You know, if Russia allowed black people.

Then again, maybe this video does have some helpful teachings. It’s teaching the kids how to take in smoke and teaching the girls that, hey, sometimes you can take a foreign substance in the face without asking too many questions. Certain girls who may or not be my girlfriend could have stood to have this show on a loop on her TV as a child.

That’s a pretty impressive skill but there’s something unflinchingly homoerotic about throwing a liquid into your friend’s open mouth, followed by him squinting his eyes and choking the liquid down. Not to say these guys are gay or anything, but I’m pretty sure I could pick up any dude from the Chelsea area of NYC and have him do the same thing. Plus he’d probably be able to gargle and do ventriloquism after catching it. Our gays are the most talented in the world, at more than just rimjobs. I think that’s part of the brochures they give out to New York tourists upon arrival. And with good reason.

A couch made from the molding of Kozhevnikova’s vagina (not really)

A Russian woman has set a new world record, lifting a 14-kg. glass ball with her vagina muscles. Tatiata Kozhevnikova of Novosibirsk, aged 42, has been exercising her intimate muscles for fifteen years, and has already made her entrance into the Guinness Book of Records as the possessor of the world’s strongest vagina, she proudly told Life.ru.

“After I had a child, my intimate muscles got unbelievably weak. I read books on Dao and learned that ancient women used to deal with this problem using wooden balls,” she said. “I looked around, saw a Murano glass ball and inserted it in my vagina. It took me ages to get it out!”

The embarrassing first experience did not scare Tatiana off. She developed quite a taste for vagina fitness, and now she has her exercising balls custom-made.

“You insert one of the balls in your vagina, and it has a string attached to it with a little hook at the very end. You fix a second ball onto this hook.”

I don’t know that I’d see a lot of benefit in an overly strong vagina. I’d hate to get stuck in there like it was a bear trap. Plus if her cooch started to look like Hulk Hogan, I can’t imagine that’d be a huge turn-on.

My girlfriend’s vagina isn’t very strong, but it’s pretty flexible and well-trained for cardio. At least, I assume it is based upon the number of times I’ve walked in on a team of black guys banging her. It’s totally okay though, since it’s part of her workouts.

Women often say that I’m a misogynist, which I find unfair. There are certain things that men can do well which women just can’t and shouldn’t do. Including firing large guns, lifting heavy objects, fixing a car, giving handjobs, voting, running for office, and wearing pants.

Now that doesn’t mean that women can’t try. It’s adorable. Like trying to watch a kitten rip through your skin. It thinks it’s a big tiger, but it’s just a little cutie pie isn’t it? Yes it is. Yes it issss! That’s why whenever I see a woman trying to do something like that, I just scratch her under her chin and go, “Awww.” The sexual harassment suit says no, but the eyes say, “Yes yes.”

A FEISTY raccoon has bitten off a pervert’s PENIS as he was trying to rape the animal.

Alexander Kirilov, 44, was on a drunken weekend with pals when he leapt on the terrified – but toothy – fur ball.

“When I saw the raccoon I thought I’d have some fun,” he told stunned casualty surgeons in Moscow.

Now Russian plastic surgeons are trying to restore his mangled manhood.

“He’s been told they can get things working again but they can’t sew back on what the raccoon bit off,” said a pal.

“That’s gone forever so there isn’t going to be much for them to work with.”

I think it’s charming how the principles of communism apply across the board still in Russia. This gentleman thought, “Well, the rest of the state gets adequate amounts of penis so we must give to the weak.” It’s quite noble. Other than the beastiality and penis-biting parts.

More importantly, let this be a lesson: When raping a raccoon, stick to traditional intercourse. Raccoons are strictly missionary or, occasionally, in favor of a Chinese sex swing. Also rabies. They sure love rabies.
