 Bizarre. Any idea what Kasparov said afterwards?

I think he made a comment about the opposition attacking from below
the belt or something.  Someone said something like, "We have seen the
face of the opposition" to which Kasparov said something like, "If
that is the face of the opposition..."

I wish I recall the exact site of the quote.  That had me ROFLing a
bit earlier.  Now, HERE is something the Chessmaster series or Fritz
could add to it.  Wait, instead of flying pieces, maybe Sanny's site
could have flying... err, nevermind.

I found another link on it:
http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/world-news/article3720115.ece

Kasparov laughed off the incident remarking that it was "below the
belt" .

"I think we have to be thankful for the opposition's demonstration of
the level of discourse we need to anticipate," he said.

Unconventional chopper targets Putin critic

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

By Gary Fennelly

Former World Chess Champion and Kremlin critic Garry Kasparov has been
attacked by radio-controlled penis during a meeting of opposition
activists.

Around 700 opponents of the Kremlin were attending Kasparov’s address
in Moscow at the weekend.

Pro-Kremlin demonstrators decided to interrupt Kasparov’s address,
designed to unite opposition political forces, by launching a rotor-
assisted plastic phallus towards Mr Kasparov.

The unconventional chopper managed to stay up for at least 20 seconds
before stunned security guards swiped it out of the air.

The prank was staged by "a couple of pro-Kremlin Young Russia
activists" reports the Moscow Times. Mr Kasparov was unharmed.

Kasparov laughed off the incident remarking that it was "below the
belt" .

"I think we have to be thankful for the opposition's demonstration of
the level of discourse we need to anticipate," he said.

An onlooker said the incident was a "genital reminder about who is in
charge".

He was giving a political speech, so do we happen to cross-post this
to the political newsgroup? :-P

Ah, yes. This wasn't an attempt to disturb him during a chess game, it
was about harassing the political opposition in Russia. *That* is, at
least, not unprecedented.

I know he said some funny things after the incident but my understanding of
the russian language is pretty much not there.

He said it was 'a low blow'

and continued to speak to the effect that this is the level to expect

How about a P Innes joke?

It was a penis, not an a.shole.

 Was this flying phallus a home-made job, or is it commercially
available? It might become a feature of political life in other
countries. One can ponder the impact it might have if, say, one were
suddenly to appear on live national TV during a McCain-Obama debate.

Given a cheap enough RC helicopter, it should be a simple
matter to make a lightweight styrofoam body and paint it.

How about a flying penis trailing a "Obama is a Dick!" banner
a giant teat trailing a "McCain is a Boob!" banner, and a flying
arse trailing a "It's too bad they can't both lose!!" banner?
That would liven things up!!

Given the item was 'up' on a radio-controlled site I'd guess it was an
actual rc chopper covered in modelling putty..

The two items are connected in his case.

How about a homo-joke by people who are obsessed by male organs, backsides
and such? Who write much about it to other men, yet declare they are not
closet types?

Where is the BRAIN to explain this to you?

How shall he explain to you about people who regularly display such stuff in
their volunteered speech , no matter what the subject?

People who can't ever write about chess like they are players of it?

;)

Oh I thought someone might say things about a disruptive d*ck that is
causing grief to the chess world or something.  Not stuff I would say
(sha right), but someone else.
