Welcome to Mercedes Benz Death Week

March 14, 2008 in Uncategorized with 7 Comments

My pal Biscuit, who is NOT a Russian Mafia moll, drew my attention to this spectacular array of tombstones belonging to Russian mobsters. An enterprising people, these daisy-pushing deviants had an eye for flash as well as fiscal responsibility, thus they managed to find a corporate sponsor in none other than my grandma’s old Mercedes C-class.

First we have the young hottie of the group. I don’t know how I feel about double breasted suit jackets on a stocky man, but eh, it’s his funeral. 3.jpg

Second we have That Guy Who Looks Like He Should. THIS is how I like my dead Russian mobsters; greasy, bejeweled, bevested and bearing a significant resemblance to a very ticked off Bea Arthur.

Of course, there’s always an obligatory prison-issue tear drop tattoo. Why is it that if you have a tear drop under one eye you’re scary and cool but if you have a tear drop under both eyes, you’re just a mime?

There are plenty more…visit englishrussia.com to see ‘em. I particularly like the close-up shot of the man holding a lucky horseshoe keychain. How do you say EPIC FAIL in Russian?

    My fav is the picture of the man with the tattoos holding a cigarette next to the picture of the saint holding a candle. Just goes to show that any art form can be perverted…

    This. Is. Priceless.

    I actually had the “pleasure” of meeting a couple of ex-KGB and they fit your Russian mafia ideal very well. But that top one…who knew Matt Damon was a Russian mobster????

    The Young Hottie is a deadringer for Tom Brady.
