Please to be watching. BBtv's invizibul Soviet bureau telexes report:

Soviet Unterzögersdorf is last existing republic of USSR. The enclave maintains no diplomatic relationship with surrounding so-called "Republic of Austria" or with the Fortress "European Union." The downfall of her motherland -- the Soviet Union -- in the early 1990s had a particularly bad effect on the country’s economic situation. It is a great challenge to secure survival for the small but proud confederation. External reactionary forces put the country in danger.
His Excellency Ambassador of Soviet Unterzoegersdorf, Nikita Chrusov, is entering the Marriott Hotel in San Diego, during O'Reilly ETech conference, to attend a corporate afterparty sponsored by Disney.com.
After four weeks of sea travel on a cargo ship and two weeks of journey in a Greyhound bus, the Ambassador is eagerly awaiting a meeting. He wants to confront Disney executives with a couple of questions, especially talking to them about their "sugar-coated bullets", that threaten the very existence of his country by brutal cultural force.
But then -- he is forcibly ejected from party, like cosmonaut from spaceship escape hatch. Commissar Chrusov calls this act "an unbelievable act of political shortsightness" and complains about mysterious green "poisoned pudding."

Special thanks to Johnannes and monochrom, who had absolutely nothing to do with this, and to cameo guests Eddie Codel of Geek Entertainment TV; Scott Beale of Laughing Squid (who covered this incident here); and John Perry Barlow, EFF co-founder.

Update: Soviet Unterzoegersdorf is not amused.

The Soviet blogosphere is buzzing.

Members of the CPSUZöD protest "against a recent smut report on Boing Boing TV." - "A strong political message about suppression was turned into a filthy report about a drunk representative of our country!"

Why is the USSR considered funny? If he went as a Nazi I think BBtv would be covering it as an outrage instead of humor.

Is that Klaus-Pierre's brother?
