Сразу предупреждаю - это НЕ смешная, а очень грустная быль...
По адресу http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famous_Russians
расположен "Список знаменитых русских".
В нем, в частности, есть раздел "Музыканты и композиторы".
В это разделе, в одном ряду с Хачатуряном, Мусоргским, Прокофьевым и
Римским-Кормаковым стоит... Дуэт "Тату".
Возникает вопрос - куда УЖЕ докатилась Россия в частности и этот мир в
целом?
=====
Ну и где ты, мудак, здесь Тату нашел?
