tatu videos

I added a few tatu videos to my MySpace site, if only in protest at the fact that they are hardly ever shown here in the UK. I do have a huge soft spot for these girls and their fine art of provocation. Favourite memories include the "hui voine" T-shirts, which they wore on a US talk show just after the beginning of the Iraq invasion:

Only after their appearance was broadcast did the TV people find out that the words translate as "F*** the war!" (the word "hui" is so rude it doesn't even appear in my Russian dictionary, but if the TV crew had included any half way educated person they would have realised that the second word features in the title of Tolstoy's War and Peace, Voina i Mir)
