Now this IS an item which deserves a little bit of gentle fun poked at it.
No half-intelligent person seriously believes that Mr Putin dived into some shallow water and managed to pull out a couple of ancient urns dating back several thousand years. The archaeologists who have have been trawling these waters for months if not years must have been damned incompetent to miss them! But then again, none of them is going to be running in a presidential election next year. When, I guarantee, there'll be a few urns of a different variety conveniently planted here and there!

The thing is, it's a nice story: Mr P's getting out and about and good luck to him. And at least he wasn't singing "Blueberry Hill". But don't insult the intelligence of your viewers by pretending that this is a genuine find.
Come to think of it perhaps Vlad could do a new tune along the lines of:
"I dived into the sea
And came up with some pottery
So if you vote for me
It won't be such a lottery"

larry,   you told me I was obsessed, yet you comment every time :P  I'm not flaming you.  Please don't be offended.  I'm just saying we both like Putin.  My name is sarcastic and more for my school teachers than Putin.  I told them so.  I was just hoping since we had a incident *shrug s*

V.Putin is the right man at the right time for Russia ,I hope the Russians learn and know their sacrifice was not in vein .They do not expect to gain through greed or through religion ,they just expect to live in a just society.What more could you ask?
