It started off as a trip to watch some scientists working as part of a conservation effort in Russia's Far East. While the head veterinarian of the Moscow Zoo was explaining to the Russian prime minister how to use a tranquilizer rifle, a tiger escaped from scientists working nearby and threatened the film crew.
Putin brought the tiger down with the rifle, before helping scientists measure the tiger's canines and fit it with a satellite transmitter. |
The Tiger said:
Don't believe them. I was framed.

In an act of bravery that could (almost) be made for TV...And, probably was staged...

Ok, heres my title for the movie...”Eye of the Tiger”.
And as Putin, David Hasselhof. With Paris Hilton as the poor scientist who accidentally let the tiger loose. We’ll have Pete Rose, Britney Spears and Madonna as part of the cast.

Right after Obama does it - apparently.
This guy REALLY has a Napoleon complex and the Russians apparently desperately need a hero figure,

The lord of the manor goes on a hunt. How medieval. In ancient times they would have killed the animal then stuffed & mounted it in the lord’s hunting lodge.
Maybe Putin is an animal rights advocate?

This opens up two interesting possibilities:
(1) Putin going out for Bear hunting with Sarah Palin
(2) Putin and Cheney going out for quail hunting (we know who will end up in the ambulance, fighting for his life.)

If he'd been a man, and if he really wanted to impress everyone, he would have killed it with his bare hands...or at the very least a Bowie Knife.
Wuss.
...as it is, the KGB man is simply making Russian propoganda...cheap, cheasy, and blatant propoganda.

Russians are lauding Prime Minister Vladimir Putin after he reportedly saved scientists and a film crew from a huge escaped tiger in the Russian Far East. The tiger was no match for the judo champion...Judo? On a tiger?
Oh, wait! There's more. ...and former KGB agent with a tranquilizer rifle.
What? A tranq gun? What kind of Judo KGB agent uses a tranq gun?
Sheesh! I thought he actually saved someone by out-tigering the the tiger.
What a Wuss!

I would have never believed it! Even Putin is trying to impress the girl from Alaska. Sounds like he has given up on Obama
