It's now illegal in Russia to share an image of Putin as a gay clown https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/ 04/05/its-now-illegal-in-russia-to-share-an-image-of-putin-as-a-gay-clown/ Russia has banned a picture depicting President Vladimir Putin as a potentially gay clown. Russian news outlets are having trouble reporting exactly which image of the Internet's many Putin-gay-clown memes is now illegal to share. Because, you know, it's been banned. But the picture was described last week on the Russian government's list of things that constitute "extremism." - - - Oh, God! I can't share Putin-gay-clown images anymore! What will I do in my free time?! :-o The guy isn't smart, hahaha!! Censorship banning a meme is pretty stupid. He's begging for a viral, woohoo!! :D # Cute Bonus: - There are long months, I am waiting for this battle. I'm Japanese. It's in my genetics to love giant robots with passion! :D http://www.theverge.com/2017/4/5/15192948/giant-robot-duel-megabots-date-venue
