Didn't the founder of Tatu basically admit to it being supposed to be a pedophilic fantasy at some time?
Judging by that ""art" project", yes, he basically admitted this.

EDIT2: Thanks DH that advise was most useful

You might like to actually edit that out. Because, y'know, just strike-throughing the flamey thing won't make it any less flamey.

Meanwhile in Donetsk...

Such shit has been going on for the past two months in various parts of the frontline, by the way.

EDIT: another video
Novorossiyan sources cited by Russia's Colonel Cassad claim Ukrainian forces are using heavy artillery against them, including rocket artillery systems "Uragan". Multiple areas of the city were hit.
Some Ukrainian sources on Twitter citing some informant in the Ukrainian army, on the other hand, claim the shelling was done by Russian army troops that are reportedly on the offensive in Donetsk.

I watched it. I thought Nicola Sturgeon performed well as usual and I enjoyed seeing Ruth Davidson and Jim Murphy at loggerheads. The format wasn't great though, considering there was a lot of talking-over going on. It meant that when Davidson out and out called Murphy a liar he wasn't able to do/say much - with Glen Campbell desperate to move onto the next question. I thought when Murphy did his ultra-defensive "How DARE you" routine he came across as quite threatening and dominant, I don't know if he had a point though because of the format.

I also wasn't happy with the host Glen Campbell's overall approach, putting Nicola Sturgeon under a lot more scrutiny than the other candidates and not letting her defend herself properly. It was just another one of those scenarios where she gets ganged up on by 3 opposition parties and has to deal with the intense scrutiny usually given to front runners. I also saw Campbell share a sneaky wee smirk with Murphy at one point when Sturgeon said she wasn't going into the details on something.

All in all Davidson got another free ride, despite being the representative of the UK government on the panel, Willie Rennie was his usual self, Sturgeon held it together under a lot of pressure and Murphy made an absolute tit of himself by accidentally saying "fundilymundily" on national television instead of "fundamentally". I think he's just exhausted and at wits end considering he's fighting to hold onto his seat.

Fvcking economy how does it work... oh wait, let me check something real quick.

Welp seems like Saudi's have folded up. That explains the currency rise.

Remember all those people saying that "the age of costly oil has passed forever and now oil will always be cheap forever"? Yeah, no.

Oil prices are disappointing but it is still way better than average ~$100 yearly price.

As long as Brent is <$90 per barrel I consider it to be a good price.

PS.
Dear Greek Economy, can you collapse sooner?

Eurozone crisis, world economy (or at least the European one) going to shit, taking Russia with it, I guess.

Eurozone recession will likely bring oil prices down :)
It is a half-joke here

European politics tend to get very interesting when shit hits the fan. I'm sure you heard what happened the last time Europe hit a great economic depression? Also, the E.U. collapsing would probably be a net positive for Russia in the long run, and Russia does like to play the long game.

If the 2008 world crisis hasn't brough down the oil prices for long, then a mere Eurozone crisis won't do that.

People were predicting Russia collapse in 2008, too, and how did that end? With increasing oil prices, of course!

Dear Ded Moroz, I know that it's totally not an appropriate time to send wishes to you, but can you please make average price on oil in this year more than 100 $ per barrel?

Honestly, I think the U.S. is more likely to collapse or go through serious upheaval before Russia does again.
