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 [4]http://www.theverge.com/2017/4/5/15192948/giant-robot-duel-megabots- date-venue How sad for certain cretins that idolize totalitarian rulers :) -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
