I… I’m not sure what to say, Except, poor donkey.

That’s…odd.

“As G-d is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”

That TV show should be required viewing for everyone who works in marketing.

“You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly, but I bet you ain’t never seen a donkey fly!”

–Donkey

Relax, it’s just a message from the Cult Of Rasputin to various other groups of lunatics around the world.

I have to check my codebook on the appropriate response.

Fuck. Does this mean that now I have to make good on all the times I said “sure, I’ll do that when a donkey flies in Russia!”

In other news, Darth Vader robs a bank.

Good job he landed in water. The Indian army tried parachuting donkeys into the front lines of their Himalayan front lines to carry supplies, their legs broke when they landed and they had to be put down.

I don’t know what kind of animal abuse laws they have in Russia, but I hope those sick fucks get the full brunt of it. :mad:

I can’t imagine the terror that poor animal felt.

At the tail end of the linked article, it said the people who did it could be pinned for two years.

“could be”

Even in this country, “could be” often doesn’t mean squat.

And two years, as far as I’m concerned, isn’t nearly enough.

You were right.

At least the donkey was okay.
