The Virtual Side of the Orange Revolution

Just as with the Russo-Ukrainian tiff over Tuzla, the Orange Revolution spilled over into the online world. Here are a few of my favorites:

Election 2004 -- Chestnut Revolution.

The eggs on Yanukovych's body go back to the egging he received during the campaign. He fell to the ground in a faint and tried to play it up as a terrorist act.

Yanukovych as Agent Smith -- "Be Like Me"

There are about a million such parodies of Yanukovych's formerly ubiquitous billboards. They featured the Ukrainian phrase "Tomy Shcho" -- Because -- followed by words like leader, orderly, and so on. People had a lot of fun with the template. This one says, "Because. . . Mafia."

"Tell me how many soldiers need to be sent to Chechnya, Vova."

Election 2004 -- Your children will be in reliable hands.

Very entertaining and informative, as usual. I love parodies of campaign slogans and posters, wherever they come.

Sweet.

That remake of "Liberty Leading the People" is definitely the easiest to understand.

They're all good, though.
