#186: Of Sheep and the Bull

Yesterday youth activists organized a flash-mob against the Kyrgyz government. They put on masks of sheep and one of them put a mask of a bull and wore boxing gloves.
Although they carried a "disclaimer" that said "all characters are work of fiction and any similarity if a coincident," it was pretty obvious who they were mocking. The sheep represent Ak Jol party, who are following the bull, which represents President Bakiev.
Bakiev once said he is born in the year of bull (Chinese calendar) and therefore has the strength of a bull. Like Putin and his judo credentials, Bakiev also wants to be seen as a boxer (he on several TV appearances trained in his gym and awarded medals to boxers).
And the police then arrested the organizers of the flash-mob.
