Russian Humour: Difference between revisions

** Influenced and was influenced by the song "Dear Show" by [[Vladimir Vysotsky]], where patients write a rambling letter to TV show somewhat related to the subject of their interest. And end with a "threat" of writing to completely unrelated "Sport Lottery" next if they receive no answer - which became a meme, because that's exactly what mentally unstable people do.

** This tradition later influenced internet culture. RuNet counterpart of "[[Kibo]]logy" was "Kaschenism", since the name of an asylum (named after P.P.Kaschenko) was locally used as an exclamation equivalent to "that's ''crazy''!", and dealing with idiots, [[Loony Fan]]s, crackpots and psychopaths on net (as well as provocateurs - but those overlap, like with that [[LiveJournal]] wannabe- [[Paedo Hunt|Paedofinder General]], who turned out to be not only a scammer, but also kind of [[Shotacon]] herself) is what it used to do, thus the form reflected the function.
