  • This made me laugh:

    "One is reminded of the so-called plot claimed to have been uncovered by the FSB last April by Ukrainian neo-Nazis to kill Russian TV host Vladimir Solovyov in Moscow. As evidence they reported an improvised explosive device and a large variety of weapons, as well as Ukrainian passports and nationalist literature. Because there must never be any doubt about the sympathies of the would-be assassins, who clearly had no interest in covert operations, there was a picture of Hitler and red t-shirt with a swastika. Most bizarre of all was the presence of three copies of the SIMS video game, presumably because the officer staging this scene misunderstood his orders to supply three SIM cards, which might have some role in a car bomb. Lest there be any doubt about the authenticity of this plot another video showed an inscription in an unidentified book that had been found, signed in Russian with the words ‘signature illegible'."
