Photos of bare-chested Putin create stir

Quote:

MOSCOW - When he flexes Russia's diplomatic and military muscle, Vladimir Putin always makes headlines.

The resulting images, prominently enshrined on the presidential Web site, inspired admiration, criticism and some racing pulses among his admirers.

The Russian media still can't get enough.

This had me in stitches. Bring in Barnum and Bailey's folks... I mean, its good to see that Putin doesn't stoop to making a mockery of world politics and everything...yea.

I think this title might've been more catchy... 'Putin takes off shirt and ruffles critics.'

On the deeper side of things, maybe a shirtless Putin indicates a gesture to George Bush and all European countries stating he's ready to make love... not war. (heh)

What do you guys think?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

God forbid national leaders try to live their lives like ordinary people every now and again. "OMG it's hot and I'm fishing, this should make the national headlines."

There's nowhere I can't reach.

His pants could be a little bit higher. I can still see belly-button.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That's what I was thinking.

Must have been a slow news day.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I like Putin's hat.

That's all I came here to say. Carry on.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've always heard him being referred to "Pooty Poot" in some circles.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

They were released on Putin's website. It's not about having a good 'ol time fishing with the boys, it's a shameless photo op, trying to present Putin as Russia's masculine strongman.

FELIPE NO
