OMG that is insulting! Gah!

[vyacheslav.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's very funny, but I wouldn't call it stupid or insulting. I wouldn't feel that was if it was a Russian doing the same thing either. It's just a joke, no big deal.

I fail to see how it isn't stupid. I understand the concept gimmicks and marketing tools, but this does seem quite ridiculous to me.

[vyacheslav.livejournal.com]

It's stupid in that it's not very funny, but I meant I don't think the people who made it are necessarily stupid. To someone who does not have an interest in Russian language/culture/whatever it may be pretty funny. Is this an ad for something or is it just a picture someone made? Either way it shouldn't be taken seriously enough to be offensive.

[oncelosthorizon.livejournal.com]

I never stated that I was offended by it.

I can't figure out what the sign says.

Da comrade, more leninade

It's just taking advantage of the cyrillic letters that look like latin letters.

[irinta.livejournal.com]

hmm, and what does this mean?
can you please translate it in Russian or English.
thx

[vyacheslav.livejournal.com]

Yes comrade, more leninade.

Comrade is one of the few Russian words that every english speaker knows and identifies with Russia. Leninade is a drink which I guess is like lemonade, except the call it Leninade because it sounds like lemonade. And the two girls are saying "yes, comrade, we would like more leninade."

Here are the ingrediants for Leninade:
Carbonated water
Cane Sugar
Citric Acid
Gum Acacia
Natural and Artificial flavors.

So yeah, it's a citrus, lemony drink of some kind.

Here's the bottle

Thanks A LOT! :-))) Before your comment I couldn't understand it either, even being a native speaker. *LOL*

Now I see - it's really stupid. :-))

Is it good at least? Never had a chance to taste. :o)

[vyacheslav.livejournal.com]

I've never had it but from the ingrediants it doesn't look too spectacular.

[wondergurl-77.livejournal.com]

lolz.

I like it.

[oncelosthorizon.livejournal.com]

Hehe

[wondergurl-77.livejournal.com]

I get a bottle for my Russian <3

[med99.livejournal.com]

I feel somewhat insulted by their putting a Russian church in the background. Otherwise, no problem.

[quem98.livejournal.com]

That's rediculously Cheezy...

The word poshli comes to mind as well.

Here's the website: http://www.leninade.com/ (http://www.leninade.com/)

If you thought the ad was funny, you'll find the website even funnier... if you found it stupid or offensive, don't visit the site!

And here's another picture:

Hahaha!!!

[svl.livejournal.com]

LOL:)
I don`t feel offended (though I like USSR, since it`s my Motherland)

[med99.livejournal.com]

funny because the girl looks so American... every bit of her... makes you imagine an alternative history in which the US went communist. LOL.

And she should have been wearing a Young Pioneer's pilotka instead of that totally out-of-place Northern Fleet cap.

[mystache.livejournal.com]

I just bought 6. Too funny.

[oncelosthorizon.livejournal.com]

Let us know if it takes Russian! Hahaha

[vyacheslav.livejournal.com]

And for that authentic Russian flavor, make sure you top it with sour cream and drink it with borscht. And caviar and bread, but don't forget to put butter on the bread first.
