Image of the Year
My image of the year has to be the photo of Russian President Vladimir Putin which is now used regularly by people protesting against his anti-gay prejudices - in which he is egged on by the Russian Orthodox Church, of course.
But the joke is that Vlad is shown wearing make-up in stark contrast to his well cultivated macho-man image - which features the Russian President doing all kinds of 'manly' things bare chested for some reason.
What marvellous fun - and the subliminal message is such a real hoot!
