Moscow's Ban On Beer Commercials...

Moscow
No Beer Commertials: Russia's parliament this week put severe restrictions on beer ads. No commercials or beer are allowed on TV or radio from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and the ads that run at other times can't show people or cartoon characters, or imply that beer quenches thirst or improves athletic or social prowess. The new rules reflect a change of tack in a country that has long treated beer as a soft drink. There's no minimum age to buy beer, and children often drink it during the day, contributing to an epidemic of youth hooliganism. President Vladimir Putin, a teetotaler, has been pushing for restrictions on booze.

i don't think beer is the problem.

He'll if I lived in the cold improvished boring corrupt hole that is Russia, I would be a hulligan. At least it brings some warmth (lets set that car on fire!! YEARGAH ! ) and excitement to their lives...

(I can't believe I am defending hooliganism... but than again I did like it when the Brits went wack against the Frogs...)

I thought I might also add that you're being fed bullshit by the media, before you go criticising other countries why don't you take a look at how fucked up your own is

About 5. All partiotic, but none as blinded by it as you seem to be. And all think they can out drink me for some reason (though admittedly they do go through vodka like it is water)

As I like to tell my other 'friends',
"shooo n00b! shooo!"

erm..Russia is a dump... a good one though if you can stay out of trouble and go there for the "party" aspect.

lol, russia never had a history, the USA just tried to make it sound like they did so they had a reason to compete

I have met a lot of Russian people (my mum is Russian) and they are all the nicest, most genuine, people I have ever met in my life (not exaggerating) and would never go around fucking things up like you say.

But yeah, they could out drink anyone, they practically have vodka with their cornflakes ffs

Home made vodka too, which is like 99% alcohol and makes u go blind "ROFFEL"
