That's the world's first flying dildo to be made entirely of polonium

Spassky, you scalliwag. You countered Kasparov's Gaping Opening with your own Forceful Flying Thrust!
posted by WolfDaddy at 4:11 PM on May 19, 2008


OOh... oh God... I'm dying here! That... it's... I mean... and then the security guy swats it out of the air...

OK, I just now caught my breath. Thanks so much for this. I don't care if it's juvenile, this is the funniest goddamn thing I've seen all year.

I'm trying to imagine how the Secret Service would deal with this at a McCain rally. Significant amounts of leaping and machine-gun fire methinks.

I'm just happy that breaking news about Kasparov is not his assassination.

The secret service would have McCain offstage as soon as the whining noise was heard.

That security guy is lucky.

Had this not been post-Soviet Russia, that dong would have slapped him.

At first I watched the video without sound, and thought the dong was being lowered on a string. This was mildly funny.

Then I watched it again with sound, and realized it was on a little propeller.

Gary Kasparov, chess grandmaster, leader of the Russian progressive movement, accosted by a screeching peniscopter.

I lol'd. I lol'd hard. Screamers has nothing on this.

plus, how fun would it be to see morpheus clinging to the end of a ginormous clipped schlong?

pretty darn fun, i think.

And to think I just finished watching Steve Ballmer getting egged and thought "how'd he get eggs past security, esp. with a shirt like that?". I'm now forced to ask no one in particular "how do you get a remote-controlled heli-dildo past security?".

Sometimes, people rule.

What was Kasparov speaking about (and what was his, ah, comeback?)

And what are the odds someone in the the Soviet government did this to make him look foolish?

OK then. I ignored this post until just now. Why do I care that someone threw a fake dong at Kasparov? Bored, I finally clicked. LOL! I, too, LOLed. Out loud. I hope a translation turns up. Kasparov is a smart and witty man, and I'd love to hear what he said.

I also would like to know what went through that security dude's mind when he startled. AH! FLYING DONG!!!! GET IT!!!

Me too. It seems like when he first hears the noise, he immediately thinks "oh shit, we're being attacked somehow", then he sees what it is and is at least somewhat amused, especially if you look at the still image. This story will undoubtedly be passed down in his family for generations. "Kids, did I ever tell you about the time your grandfather swatted a heli-dildo out of the air?"

Check out the guy to the left of security-guy in the still photo. He just has a look of total disgust for him on his face. "Is flying dildo. Security cannot even control flying dildo? This would not have heppened in Soviet days. Moose and squirrel!"

On the other, the people behind this are supporting the suppression of political opposition and facilitating the rebirth of an authoritarian superpower. On the other, LULZ.

Words fail me. That is perhaps the perfect prank.
posted by Schlimmbesserung at 5:38 PM on May 19, 2008


Translation (a bit too literal, quickly thrown together):
At the start of the dong flight Kasparov is talking about respect towards one's political opponents and their opinions. After the successful swatting:
Kasparov: "I think we have to be thankful for the opposition's demonstration of the level of discourse we need to anticipate. Also, apparently most of their arguments are located beneath the belt." Someone in the audience: "Finally the political power shows its face!" Kasparov: "Well, if that's its face..." Everyone laughs.

posted by subgear at 6:00 PM on May 19, 2008


I don't think he wanted to ignore it at all. Everyone is fairly amused and he just takes a moment to come up with a few jokes. One thing that makes me hopeful for Russia is its people unyielding sense of humour.
But I have to say that when I saw "Kasparov" and "breaking news" in one post my heart skipped because I thought it would be news of assassination attempt. Thank the flying penises it was only one of them!

Thanks for the translation shusha!

I used to know someone who pronounced "helicopter" "helicockter" (in Dutch, but it doesn't make much of a difference for this word). Then again, this was the kid a block down I always used to play doctor with when I was twelve, so there.

Also, is this the point in history where we can finally start referring to the act of forcefully rebuking our more powerful political opponents as "cockswatting"?

Please?

I want to build one. The only problem is, I'm way too shy to walk into a store and buy a dildo, and I certainly don't want to end up on whatever lists online purveyors of dildos would sell my email address to. Plus, I can't quite tell how one would enable turning left or right. Some sort of rudder attached to the balls?

I agree. I only said that to be able to set up a "zugzwang" joke. How often does one get that chance?

I can't believe that 65 comments down that I had to wade out to the newswires to find out what this was all about, but here it is. In short:

The first meeting on Saturday of a "National Assembly" organized by the Other Russia opposition coalition featured calls for a strong challenge to the current government, while demonstrating much of the disarray that often plagues the Kremlin's opponents ..... Garry Kasparov, one of the leaders of The Other Russia, didn't arrive himself until noon. ..... A couple of pro-Kremlin Young Russia activists added to the commotion at the event by launching plastic phallus on propellers, which were knocked out of the air by security guards.

It appears to be coaxial, so you could turn it by slowing one rotor but not the other.
