It certainly didn't make him look good, (not that there is much out there that could remedy that..), but it is still a pretty comical form of protest to my "western" eyes :) and I'm sure it won't be too funny for the reporter who'll probably find himself in jail or under close scrutiny for some time..guchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496073190294088305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31989659.post-31448656877395558682008-12-15T22:09:00.000+09:002008-12-15T22:09:00.000+09:00http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=5D5oKEVqQJg:Phttp://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=5D5oKEVqQJg<BR/><BR/>:PDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672575871928854138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31989659.post-76635524264044863132008-12-15T16:42:00.000+09:002008-12-15T16:42:00.000+09:00You know that Austin Powers quote was just waiting...You know that Austin Powers quote was just waiting for a day like this so it could shine...Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249329919688653405noreply@blogger.com
