Spurned by every real country under the sun, last week Vladimir Putin took the Soviet approach and tried to make a big deal out of a state visit by Prince Albert of Monaco. Ellustrator has them going fishing, which they really did do. Putin tells the Prince: "Try it again, I think it'll work this time." A commenter asks whether, after fixing up the Prince, the submarine will then attach the Russian flag to Putin's hook. Homosexual groups are having plenty of fun with Putin's topless photographs taken whilst fishing.

LR's translator found the above satirical Photoshopped image on a Russian blog. Translation -- "A new military occupational specialty has appeared in Russia: Border Guard-Diver. He stands by the Russian flag at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean and guards the continental shelf."
