From the manila folder marked "Bad ideas that will likely be employed despite the fact," comes Alexander Lavrynov's patented device for placing advertising in space. The article is from CNN, though I had to check twice to make sure I wasn't reading The Onion. In any case, it would seem that Russia has fully embraced the ideals of capitalism. Disgusting.
