Here's a fun fact: 60 percent of all stories on the internet are created in a Hollywood studio by Jimmy Kimmel. Sorry, no, that's a lie—just like the little boy crossing the desert, the the sad Putin hockey photo, and the wolf in the Sochi hotel room. All of these stories took over the internet this week, and all of…
Noted oppressor of gay people, Russian President Vladimir Putin deigned to put his hands on a potential corrupter of children's innocence, openly bisexual Dutch speed skater Ireen Wüst.

"The cult of Putin in America," Marin Cogan writes at National Journal, "probably has its strongest hold on the readers of ostensibly apolitical humor sites that target young men, such as Cracked and theChive."

Conservative writers are very upset that The New York Times published an op-ed by Russian President Vladimir Putin calling for the U.S. to halt any plans to strike Syria. “It looks like those pro-Assad Syrians didn’t need to hack the New York Times website after all,” National Review columnist Charles C.W.

Russian President Vladimir Putin shook hands (and smiled) with President Obama on Thursday morning at the 2013 G-20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, where leaders of major countries were ostensibly meeting to discuss the stability of the global economy.

The following video, widely circulated on social media, shows a Russian teen being tortured by a Neo-Nazi gang that suspects him of being gay.

Russia will never hand NSA leaker Edward Snowden over to the U.S., Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday, but also unless Snowden "stops his work aimed at harming our American partners" he won't be allowed to stay in Russia.

In a weird way, this makes perfect sense: legendary sex-slaving, tank-driving action star Steven Seagal and Russian president/famed shirtless athlete Vladimir Putin had lunch today before watching a judo competition together in Russia. What seems like a one-time meeting of similar minds is actually just the latest…
There is not a detail in the story of France's Orson Welles Gérard Depardieu's apparently-real move to Russia to avoid higher taxes that will not delight you.
