It'll be more laughs than stand-up comedy night!

Y'know, I almost miss some of the "glorious socialism" propaganda they used to spew during the Cold War for it's comedic value, if nothing else. Though you can still read similar stuff over at the KCNA (Korean Central News Agency) website for North Korea. Good for a laugh or two...
Then again, anyone ever watch Russia Today? It's basically the days of TASS (nowadays it's ITAR-TASS) during the Soviet Union all over again, only more bizarre with less emphasis on World Socialism and more emphasis on touting pro-Pooty rhetoric, stories about the corrupt Western (i.e. American) Imperialists, newsbabes (guess they learned something from Fox News) and spinning conspiracy theories....er, news stories. The reason they stated for Russia's annexation of the Crimea besides "protecting Russian citizens"? It was partly in response to the overthrow of the "peaceful" pro-Russian Ukranian government by a conspiracy involving the Americans and Nazis.
And no, I'm NOT making that up.
