I'll guess [honest] that means snow.

 

Yep loads of it, the snow is still falling as they play.

 

Saw this hilariously biased Russian cartoon on Ukraine's current dilemma: http://i.imgur.com/LDDGQeK.jpg

On the European side, the devil, gays, drugs and Hitler. On the Russian side, an angel, happy families, knights and a cosmonaut.

This only demonstrates to sensible people why Ukraine should join the EU and cut all ties with Russia.

 

What a bloody odd cartoon. Presumably this is the choice that faces Ukraine.

What's the bald head and pigtail for..?

 

Ha that's awesome. We are talking about Ukraine in our politics class tomorrow, I might just use that.

 

Gotta be careful of those gay nazis and modern medicine.

 

I believe he's supposed to be a Ukrainian Cossack:

This NFL match is mad, players trying to run in about 8 inches of snow. The snow is still tipping down as well.

 

At least one dead in a massive fight at a football match in Brazil... Media are going to have an absolute field day with that one!

 

OK, if I was one of those I'd probably choose piloting a Mikoyan Foxbat or Vostock/Soyuz space capsule over hard drugs too. As a Westerner the hard drugs obviously win every time, of course [just so long as I can have one go in that Foxbat/Vostock/Soyuz].

 

Sickening scenes. Loads of people injured, reports of a 3 in coma's as well.

 

When I saw that I'd assumed it was between two lower league teams, where such trouble is much more common. The fact that it's Atletico Paranaense v Vasco is pretty major news.

 

Didn't they decapitate a referee recently..? Or was that another South American country..? England gave birth to football and it became a religion in South America.

 

Yep they did. I hope it's not like this around the World Cup.

 

That was in Brazil as well, but in a game between two tiny teams. People are murdered far too often in Brazil, so it wasn't really an event too out of the ordinary. This is a Serie A game, which makes this news particularly unusual.

 

A guy got his head smashed into concrete over and over. By more then one person, this is ****ed.

 

Well you've been following this one closer than me guys, what does this stem from..? If I were to guess I would say that economically, Brazil is still a boom-land, but the money is not getting down to the have-nots [as usual], so is this politically aggravated or just football going potty in Brazil..?
