Russian activists used a remotely-controlled flying dildo (complete with tackle) fitted with helicopter blades to protest–I know not for what reason–during the opening of an ‘alternative parliament’ by chess grandmaster turned dissident Kremlin-basher, Garry Kasparov.
I’m sorry, I can’t resist saying, it took balls to cook up a stunt like this. And now it’s flown all over the world, thanks to YouTube. If this had happened to George W Bush, of course, the jokes to be made from the juxtapositioning of his surname with any of the names you could use for the offending item would have made for even more admittedly puerile hilarity.

That is brilliant! I wish I knew what he was saying but it looks like he dealt with it very well - I wish it would happen to Bush junior. Although they would think it was a major terrorist threat and launch an attack on the nearest completely unrelated middle-eastern country - I believe Kuwait has a considerable amount of oil?

@TLJ: Haha! Well, quite… “Flying cock starts World War Three”… Before 9/11 I’d have scoffed, but now… Now I could believe anything… x
