Y'know, I knew exactly which story that was before I looked at the link... just saw it myself and had to double-check that it wasn't April 1st...

You know, I'm generally in favour of politicians doing things that risk looking daft, because it's better than them spending the whole time doing the grey-man-in-grey-suit schtick. This, though, this is just weird.

Check the links to previous years' events: I swear the photos for 2002 are badly photoshopped together.

It reminds me of the Steve Ballmer monkey-dance video though.

I see the Russians did a version of Yellow Submarine. Bet they couldn't have done that a year or two ago - after the Kursk it'd be all too easy to imagine them singing "We're all stuck in a sunken submarine"

That piece was on News 24 when I got up this morning. Had to check I wasn't still half asleep.

Very cool - that pleases me greatly. He seemed to actually be enjoying it.

Okay. That was just too bizarre. Apparently he took his singing lessons from Bill Shatner.

A man who shouldn't be allowed to sing in public himself, let alone encouraging others...

The rest is redundant...
