Some humor

Even the matter-of-fact YouTube summary of this video is funny: “A press conference by Gary Kasparov is interrupted by a flying penis.”
Can any of our Russian-speaking readers translate Kasparov’s reaction?

I like how the guards were ready to take a bullet or whatever when the “threat” appeared.

I was surprised the thing lasted as long as it did. As a very public critic of Putin, Kasparov and his crew have reason to be paranoid about any potential threats.
Reading the comments, it looks like this video has become a hit on /b/ (a very popular subforum at 4chan.org with over 68 million posts). It’s gone from just under 1000 views about 8 hours ago to around 5,000 when I posted it to over 16,000 just a few hours later.

“I think we ought to be thankful that once again we have demonstrated the level of our dialog…[hard to hear] (someone yells “the rulers have finally shown their face!” and kasparov responds “well, if you count that as a face…”)…apparently our demographic problem isn’t letting some people go to sleep at night!”
