Default Parasailing Flying Donkey in Russia.

Yashin has been spotted!

How could this possibly be good advertising for your parasailing company? idiots.

http://www.calgaryherald.com/travel/...597/story.html

A regional police spokeswoman said the donkey ended up in the skies as a result of an impromptu advertising campaign by several entrepreneurial Russians to attract beachgoers to their beach where they could indulge in the thrill of parasailing.
Instead, they attracted the attention of regional police who learned of the flying donkey earlier this week and launched a probe.
"The donkey screamed and children cried," regional police spokeswoman Larisa Tuchkova told AFP. "No-one had the brains to call police."



"It was put up so high into the sky that the children on the beach cried and asked their parents: 'Why did they tie a doggy to a parachute?'" the newspaper, Taman, said late last week.
"The donkey landed in an atrocious manner: it was dragged several metres along the water, after which the animal was pulled out half-alive onto the shore."

So is that the secret weapon the Russian air force has been working on to instill fear and terror into children?

How was my second attempt at a crappy joke? Better or worse? I'm going to give it an impartial 3/10, not quite hah hah funny, but almost refresh the page to get rid of it funny.

Wow. Ice-Skating Bears to Parachuting Donkeys, Russians sure seem to have a lot of free time.

Sure, the Donkey can parachute, but apparently he sucks at waterskiing.

I do feel bad for the donkey but it is kinda funny seeing him just start flying away.

Haha, it wasn't even smooth or slowly - it went from donkey hanging out on a beach to crazy speeding flying donkey in 0 seconds.

What an ass.
