- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+51The one where you can go inside the mouth, well I was born in Russia and let me tell you once you go inside be prepare to step on poop :).
- diggduggjoe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22It's porn in America. The average person here freaks when a mom nurses her baby. Maybe America needs to grow up and accept we are mammals.
- bmson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Topless (woman) fish equals porn to you? Sick bastard...
- nzknzknzk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Wow... Why is anything "Russian" associated with "bitter cold"? Moscow is like Chicago, warm in the summer and cold in the winter. I was born in Moscow, so I would know.
/end rant - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+22The lack of typical american lawsuit-driven culture clearly shows. If a kid gets some bruises after falling off a three-headed monstrosity, no one will get sued. Helps kids grow tougher. In short those playgrounds have the message "don't mess with the bear" written all over the place.
I guess we can see a reflection of this cultural difference in recent islamic wars: Russians wiped the floor with Tchechens (sp?) and no one gave a ***** whereas americans play in kiddie gloves with insurgents in Iraq and everybody screams bloody murder.
Rephrasing McDowell's character: "Why can't we be more like [Russians], more aggressive, more addicted to conflict?". - a3r0, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20The second one looks like the Prince from Katamari

- WallyAnti, on 10/12/2007, -7/+19Wow, these playgrounds are awesome!! I wish we had these here in America. Our playgrounds are so ugly and uninspiring.
- diggumjonez, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15Your description is word-for-word copied from Mark's link over at BoingBoing.net. At least be original when stealing links others have shared first.

4°C (39°F) - fizzatbeyond, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7The last one I actually recognize, it is from a Russian cartoon, the two are (on the left) Alligator Gina, and (on the right) Cheburashka.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheburashka - jeffdodson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I think they're cute! What's so creepy? No worse than Mickey, or Scooby, or Woody.
jeff knower of knowledge and other stuff - liquidjamm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5LOL it's crocodile Gena and in theory cheburashka is a first Russian pokemon :)
- sakuraz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I think, since both links gets you to the same place, precedence is what matters.
- Automatt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Yeah, everything is better when it's not made in some capitalist factory. WTF?
- mytimac, on 10/12/2007, -8/+11I lived in Moscow for a summer and my host family would go to a nearby lake to swim and workout in the morning. They had some great "workout" equipment there. Some bars for pullups and then a steel pipe attached to a steel cable going through a pulley and the other end of the cable was connected to an eye bolt screwed into a big log. Then another much longer log that people would flip end over end along the ground. There would be a line waiting for the log pull many mornings.
Don't even get me started on the torture of having to see my host mom skinny dip in the lake. - ator1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3My favorite is the roller-thing that's held between two characters. At least they have that cold concrete to cushion their heads on the impact.
- MacGyver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"...bland factory-produced equipment found in US playgrounds."
So you're saying US playgrounds should scrap all the stuff they have in favor of expensive hand made playground equipment? - MaxPayne3476, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Becausee when people think of Russia they think of Soviet Unions and Russian Fur Coats.
Just like when we think of Germany we think of Beer and Hitler.
Just like when people think of America, they think of Glutton and GW. - MikeCampo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Oh sorry damentz, I guess I really ***** up with that link! I apologize for not knowing that I don't need a direct link... asshat.
- praxodas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Definately "primative".
Please, clarify, if possible, how societys' incompetence almost made Europe uninhabitable for a millenium? If you are referring to the Chernobyl accident, it was not societys' incompetence, just Diatlovs', for conducting an unsanctioned experiment which led to disaster. Also, considering the political climate of the time, the accident was very convenient for western bloc, led by the United States, therefore a possibility of diversion cannot be ruled out. As far as pollution is concerned - the U.S. is in no way better than russia or europe - i mean, what are the emissions of your cars alone? Why didn't the U.S. sign the Kyoto protocol? Don't forget that we will all pay the price for all the polluting. Finger-pointing is easy as it is stupid. If you want to change anything, start from your home and yourself.
I could quote president Bush, but I don't want to add add insult to the injury.
Peace. - AxeSwinger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3hehehehe you said mammals
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Don't forget Poland! When Americans think of Poland, we think of polska kielbasa, Tenacious D's "Kielbasa", and Dianetics, your butt cheeks is warm.
- calvmari, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Not all cultures see the female breasts as a sexual organ, it's just something that's been put on a pedestal by Americans. There's regions in Spain (or there were) where breasts were as natural as the daylight, but showing your feet would land you in jail for indecent exposure.
- LostOnion, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"Don't even get me started on the torture of having to see my host mom skinny dip in the lake."
Oh, go ahead and tell us. It's a slow day and who knows, it might help you to get over it. - VolatileWhimsy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If I say it's kinda neat. Does that mean I'm creepy?
- MaxPayne3476, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6Oh please, you can't tell me that if you took a vacation there you wouldn't get a picture of you squeezing a tit?
... right? am I alone here? - LostOnion, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Don't forget France. Women with hairy arrmpits. And a willingness to submit to Nazi rule. Ah, yes and smelly cheese.
- t0mmmmmmm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1doesn't look too fun :\
- mbrutsch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1MrBabyMan - Your description is an exact rip-off of this post: http://www.boingboing.net/2006/12/07/childrens_playground.html at BoingBoing. What an *****!
- djgargamel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'd totally ride that mermaid one.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1anything beats prefab America, I'd rather die than live in that horrible environment again.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So what's so creepy about Russian kids?
- krakelohm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"People say that this one was built to commemorate the rabbit who turned into wolf at midnights. It can probably be related with the upper rabbit-wolf structure." Bunnicula anyone? http://www.amazon.com/Bunnicula-Rabbit-Tale-Mystery-Deborah-Howe/dp/0689806590
- UtopianComplex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Do you really think it was the price that stopped community built playground from continuing to be made? It seems to me like it was the liability...
- umisenken, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1wrong story please mod this down
- Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2and how is crude words on a playground a big deal
you see the same thing in an americain playground
juveniles sneak in with whatever and do crap to the playgrounds ie I heart whoever or blank you mother blankers
and the thats the only thing that is even close to anything we have here - MackPrime, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1please don't sign your name.
- starguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0None of these scare me... they are just funny inanimate things made out of scrap.
Now that show... Teletubbies... it scares the crap out of me. Its the most warped and twisted thing I have ever seen. And they show that to kids? - abstraxion, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Come on man, you know he had to work in a jab at the US somehow. I'm surprised he didn't blame this playground equipment's condition on Bush.
- barium, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Am I the only one that found the babel-fished descriptions funnier than the photos?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Well I think the Question would be Why would a Samurai be using a sword from European origin instead of a home-baked Katana
- Chaos12, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4http://www.duggmirror.com
- Cymrubeats, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Yeah, as if she's got a minge to cover up.
- Darph.Bobo, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Primative but what do expect from a society thats incompetence almost made all of Europe uninhabitable for more than a thousand years and currently their broke down decaying nuclear subs, ships and weapons threaten the lives of every living creature on the planet. Don't forget the rest of the world will pay for the clean-up!
What was it that psycho Khrushchev said? "I will bury you!" the irony is that in the end he may be right. - GoingToShibuya, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4yay! Katamari Damacy playground!
- WallyAnti, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Ditto, woe unto ye who do not respect the simple pleasure that is Katamari Damacy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katamari_Damacy - KC0MLP, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Exactly what I was thinking
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -17/+11Might as well druggmirror you.
http://www.duggmirror.com - a22e, on 10/12/2007, -12/+6That exactly what I was thinking. Also since when do the Chinese have Samurai?
