Wow, LJ. Why do the Russians get the dangerous gifts?

[fickle]

If you have no clue what I'm talking about, click here for a helpful comment that shows all the ultra-cool v-gifts that Russian users have.

Poison and grenades, wow! Perfect for a country with civil unrest.

I actually think the poison is kinda cool. It's emo-tastic. But it seems weird that if it's not appopriate for the US brand of livejournal, it's okay for Russian livejournal and that el-jay would let their trademark be diluted like that anyway.

IT'S BECAUSE RUSSIANS ARE FUCKING INSANE!!

They probably threatened to exterminate the whole LJ staff if they didn't provide them evil V-day gifts. D:

Btw, wanna come over tomorrow? =P

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

*snickers* It's not even V-day gifts, it's virtual gifts! But ah, I see, so the next that I want theljstaff to listen to me, I should claim to be Russian? :P

Tomorrow sounds fun! What time?

[brownie-utonium.livejournal.com]

Yes, Russians have a way of getting what they want. You might wanna practice that accent so you can terrorize them over the phone. Speaking of phones and Russians, it's great fun to prank call them. They all answer to "Olga." I'll tell you all about it tomorrow, lol.

As for a time, how about 1pm? Then we can get through as many episodes as possible. (They really are addictive, lol.) Who knows, maybe we even have time to watch Otome as well. XD

... are those... real? I mean... well I suppose they are....

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

Yes, they're totally real. XD

Wow. And here I thought ELJAY couldn't surprise me anymore X_x

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

wtf NO REALLY WTF.

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

I KNOW.

...I really want to see a Russian user sending one to a chick or dude from Chechnya.

You do know that they're the no#1 if you take the number of customers. In fact, for blogging sites, LJ wins in the Russian Front.

In the US, you're running back and forth between Facebook and MySpace for blogging sites. Kinda makes sense that they'd focus on their prime market XD.

But still, WEAPONS for Russia? It just seems a little bit weird for el-jay to be so image-conscious and then go ahead and dish out the ouch-making stuff like that. XD
