Putin Releases Long-Awaited Judo How-To DVD

But can he sink a three-pointer from downtown?Way back in December word leaked out that Vladimir Putin was working on a fancy judo video. That glorious day has arrived, and now when John McCain looks into Putin’s eyes he will see a “JU” in one eye and a “DO” in the other eye, with “I love you” written on his eyelids, just like in the Indiana Jones movie.

TECHNICALLY the new video, while called “Let’s Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin,” is not actually like an instructional dealy by him. It features various judo masters such as Boba Fett, and Putin just pops in every now and again to throw an old man to the ground, judo-style.

And thus are fulfilled the fantasies of veritable dozens of gay martial-arts KGB bare-breasted fishing freaks around the world.

    Sarah Palin learned Judo by using a pair of binoculars and watching Putin practice on his balcony.

  2. worrytron says at 10:49 am, October 9th, 2008

    My question is.. how would Sarah Palin stand up to being thrown by Vladimir Putin?

  3. Sensei Putin-san, please invade us (cf. earlier video from Ohio parking lot). Spaseeeeeba.

  4. ManchuCandidate says at 10:50 am, October 9th, 2008

    McCain has said he will respond with an exciting line of How To Videos to counter act the How To Video Gap with Roosha.

    Among them:
    Popping Pills With Cindy
    John McCain’s Guide to Lobbyist Fucking
    Bible Spice’s Foreign Policy for Fucktards

    Finally
    John’s HTV on How to Eat An Orange

    Chuck Norris is still voting Huckabee.

  6. CankleBiter says at 10:51 am, October 9th, 2008

    This is just another example of a young, virile athletic wanna be world leader mocking the fact JAMAKAIN is a broken old man because of his FIVE AND HALF YEARS! Why is the liberal media so ageist?

  7. InKnockYouUs says at 10:52 am, October 9th, 2008

    Wow. Loved the bare-chested Putin. Maybe he and Obama can have a death match and like sell tickets for a billion a piece and refund their respective treasuries.

  8. CankleBiter says at 10:52 am, October 9th, 2008

    JoeFannyPack: Seriously how come Sara did not warn us of this new threat to Alaskan Independence?

  9. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 10:57 am, October 9th, 2008

    Meh. I prefer the old school, Mr. Miyagi method of learning: wax on, wax off. Mad skillz AND a shiny car!

  10. Delicious says at 11:00 am, October 9th, 2008

    I found this old video but the quality sucks. It shows Putin getting flipped by a little kid.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdXwu2MXR_s&feature=related

    Somebody find me a better Putin video, or get this new one online, post-haste!

  11. Gopherit v2.0 says at 11:03 am, October 9th, 2008

    Hmmm. Wonder if Dubya’s “How to Eat a Pretzel” DVD is due in time for the Holidays?

  12. el_burrito says at 11:03 am, October 9th, 2008

    See what happens when Palin takes her eyes off Russia.

  13. Napoleon Solo Putin? Eh, once a spy, always a spy. He probably poisons pigeons in the park (musically) to keep his hand in with cyanide.

  14. What a contrast to our loser president throwing cut brush into the bed of his F-350.

  15. and our dorky pres. can’t say nu-cu-ler

  16. One question: Does Putin “rear his head” in this video?

  17. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:11 am, October 9th, 2008

    …do Eskimos have a special martial art or fighting style? How are they going to defend themselves when Putin rears his head?!

  18. Itsjustme says at 11:12 am, October 9th, 2008

    Anyone see the comment from Norm in Pocatello? What a dipshit.

  19. InKnockYouUs says at 11:13 am, October 9th, 2008
  20. Shoo, shoo! ***Alaskan on Putintapegate***

  21. Harold_Ignoramis says at 11:19 am, October 9th, 2008

    Vlad: “Jew-Doh!”

  22. FMA: No, but possibly he ‘heads his rear’.

  23. Jobbotch says at 11:22 am, October 9th, 2008

    Hope it does better than Eyebrow Trimming With Leonid Brezhnev.

  24. magic titty says at 11:22 am, October 9th, 2008

    Don’t you think Bushie and McShits are jealous of Putin in a thousand different ways? He’s exemplifies their version of a man better than they ever could.

  25. “On my training table, you’ll always find…little chocolate donuts.”

  26. SayItWithWookies says at 11:25 am, October 9th, 2008

    One of the nicer aspects of absolute power (at least observed from a distance) is that it allows the bearer to ascend to his level of incompetence much faster than he could in a normal setting. I’m sure Putin now thinks he’s also an economic and military genius as well as a martial-arts badass. This sorta reminds me of that Ferdinand Marcos shadowboxing video that came out after he was deposed. I’m sure some detailed book about his personal philosophy, suitable for the edification of Russia’s young, is in the works if it’s not out already.

  27. InKnockYouUs says at 11:25 am, October 9th, 2008

    You didn’t put in the part about Putin saving people from the wild tiger. This guy is just such a he-man:

    No cameras were rolling when Mr. Putin was said to have tranquilized the tiger as it stalked the journalists who had accompanied the prime minister and some scientists on a scientific expedition to Russia’s Far East in late August.

  28. Delicious says at 11:25 am, October 9th, 2008

    Putin is also a master of the Russian martial art of Sambo!

    Putin to Pres. Obama: “Let me teach you Sambo.”

  29. His hands are registered as deadly weapons with the KGB.

  30. Just wait for President Obama’s instructional video about stone cold rainin’ 3s on your cracka russian ass.

  31. StrangelyBrown says at 11:30 am, October 9th, 2008

    Next up from Putin will be a grainy night-vision sex tape, followed by a “Lose Weight Now, Ask Me How” infomercial.

  32. lilblackcorvette says at 11:39 am, October 9th, 2008
  33. Weapons of choice:

    Biden: um… ?

    Hes gonna do a Valley Drop on that there Wasilla valley girl

  35. bluebrazos says at 11:44 am, October 9th, 2008

    If you rear your head and fly into Putin’s airspace he will cold judo chop your ass right back to Alaska!

  36. Not_So_Much says at 11:44 am, October 9th, 2008

    Cogito Ergo Bibo: For twenty years now I always thought that was “whacks on, whacks off”. Not only is my car not shiny, I have totally been doing it wrong.

  37. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:48 am, October 9th, 2008

    In Soviet Russia, Judo teaches YOU.

  39. HomoPolitico says at 11:50 am, October 9th, 2008

    I’m gonna start writing my Obama/Putin slashfic right now!

  40. 1. Vladimir Putin’s tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
    2. Vladimir Putin counted to infinity - twice.
    3. Vladimir Putin does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Vladimir Putin goes killing.
    4. If you can see Vladimir Putin, he can see you. If you can’t see Vladimir Putin you may be only seconds away from death.
    5. Vladimir Putin sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Vlad roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn’t stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.
    6. When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Vladimir Putin.
    7. Vladimir Putin has already been to Mars; that’s why there are no signs of life there.
    8. They once made a Vladimir Putin toilet paper, but it wouldn’t take shit from anybody.
    9. A blind man once stepped on Vladimir Putin’ shoe. Vlad replied, “Don’t you know who I am? I’m Vladimir Putin!” The mere mention of his name cured this man blindness. Sadly the first, last, and only thing this man ever saw, was a fatal roundhouse delivered by Vladimir Putin.
    10. Vladimir Putin is 1/8th Mongol. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man ate a fucking Mongolian.

    TJBeck: How can anyone even try to overcome that? That is what we call an epic win comment, given to us by our apparent new overlord, TJBeck.

    “Strike first, strike hard, no mercy SIR!”

    *breaking*

    Following the horrible farce of Kimbo Slice’s Saturday Night 14 second defeat, EliteXC has just signed Vladimir Putin as their newest headliner contract star. Look for him to face a swath of Ukranian and Lithuanian tomato cans.

  44. Cape Clod says at 12:04 pm, October 9th, 2008

    TJBeck:Biden’s video invloves him pulling a locomotive all by himself. The point he’s trying to make with it is elusive.

  45. shortsshortsshorts: I’ll give some credit to medici - I think that gave me the idea

  46. frailamerica says at 12:14 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Putin by armbar!

    You’re welcome.

    TJBeck: Biden’s weapon of choice is a Train to Delaware

  49. lumpenprole says at 12:30 pm, October 9th, 2008

    He’s been on this he-man thing for quite a while now - tiger-slaying, hunting without a shirt, taking foreign leaders backpacking so he can show them how he can kill a moose with an unkind word and then cook it on the spot with a ferocious gaze. I won’t be surprised if he builds a nude colossus of himself in the Kremlim.

  50. Judo? What kind of unpatriotic loser is this guy? A true Russian patriot would have made a sambo DVD!

  51. lawrenceofthedesert says at 1:01 pm, October 9th, 2008

    More thinly veiled left-wing bigotry — so some Jews have money, what of it? Do Russians, with their long history of anti-Semitism, have to keep bringing it up? On Yom Kippur, no less!?! This is even worse than talking about putting animal-tested cosmetics on a traif animal. Once a Commie, always a Commie!

  52. Norbert says at 1:32 pm, October 9th, 2008

    lumpenprole: haha! then we will have a nude colossus gap. (please Obama win, please Obama win***)

  53. theantidc: Is that Sarah Palin and Vlad Putin, gazing at each other across the Bering Sea????

  54. donner_froh says at 1:39 pm, October 9th, 2008

    InKnockYouUs: He must be really drunk. I couldn’t understand a word he said.

  55. His technique of having your opponent poisoned before you even start the fight is an effective strategy.

    allthis talk and no link to actual Putin Judo footage?

  57. shortsshortsshorts: BTW, now that I’m overlord - you’re banned! [maniacal laughter]

  58. All I can see in the eyes of this post is a K a G and a B. He he. My friends.

  59. JohnnyMeatworth says at 10:18 am, October 10th, 2008

    and he just got a tiger for his birthday! http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jRcfo4IoePVZaViv12nHsKnGP73AD93NJGTG0
