I had the strange experience of coming across this yesterday and for a few moments wondering if I was actually awake or had accidentally taken some primo Sandoz acid.
Just when you think they can't make the country look any more of a laughing stock, they come out with something like this.
Russia’s government-owned news service RT has denounced a BBC comedy chatshow featuring a 3D animation of Vladimir Putin interviewing the likes of Alastair Campbell.
Along with Campbell, guests on the Putin show include the TV presenters Joe Swash and June Sarpong. The latter plays “a game of Diversity Challenge” with the animation of the Russian president.
Wow! What a guest list. All the big hitters....
In one episode the animated Putin tries to discuss feminism with Deborah Frances-White, the host of the Guilty Feminist podcast. “It’s fair to say his grasp of the concept remains patchy,” the show notes state.
The Putin character is written and performed by the comedian Natt Tapley, who has previously worked on Have I Got News for You.
It has yet to be confirmed when it will air. Pathetic arseholes.
