It's a shame she will likely disappear for a while only to found on an old stretch of road with two suicide bullets in the back of her head.

/She is seriously awesome though

RIP, cute girl.

I dated a girl with steel balls once and broke my tooth. Wait a second. Replace "girl" with "guy" and "tooth" with "chin".

She may have steel balls but she has shiat for brains.

Those two usually go hand in hand. Look at the shiat Steve-O doesn't shy away from. You think he's passing any IQ test?

Wait, how old is she? I don't want to get lumped in with all the disgraced Republicans over the last 5 years.

As with most photoessays that purport to show secretive Russian sites, I'm going to go ahead and assume the accompanying text is fabricated.

Is there anything in Russia that doesn't have random pools of still water in it and look like it is made out of cold damp concrete?

According to Google Translate, it's test stand for the rocket engines.

I would not call it fakery exactly. Call it 'sleigh of hand' if you want to call it out.

We all want to believe a young and attractive Russian woman is riding her motorcycle through a Chernobyl. It Pulls you in. Then you see what happened, some photos may have not been from that trip. The photos get put together in a proper sequence to draw people in regardless of who actually took them.

From what I read the person who did this photo internet-journalism piece did not ask for money, they wanted to show people the clusterfook and lies that happened after.

It is an honorable act that uses a hot chick on a bike as a hook.

To be fair - its not hard to have more balls than Jesus Diaz.
 
2012-01-05 11:20:10 PM
I am going to call bull hockey on this one, at least the story. I suspect the site use to make engines but is now being repurposed for something else. Also if it is an active industrial site where the fark are the workers and one the security guards is getting favors for for letting her snap the pictures.

Enemabag Jones: It is an honorable act that uses a hot chick on a bike as a hook.

It's a disingenuous bit of legerdemain, from someone that believes the ends justifies the means, which uses a hot chick on a bike as a hook.

I wonder if this means more 'mysterious hackers' who are not in any way the Russian government because that would be silly, will be DDOSing livejournal again to try and get rid of the pictures.

It's become something of a monthly thing.

It's a rocket engine testing facility, and it's active.

She got in because the perimeter fencing is swiss cheese, but they are in the process of building a new one.


The rocket engine is mounted here:

And is fired in to the tube with the red cover "They keep the baby Sarlaccs here.".


And monitored by this camera:

The tube ends with the array of nozzles "Anyone knows what this may be?":


That fire into this pool of water:

Which goes up this tower as steam and exhaust gas:

isn't livejournal a russian company? they should just pass their own SOPA and kill the whole site legally.

Christian Bale: isn't livejournal a russian company? they should just pass their own SOPA and kill the whole site legally.

While more than half of their userbase is Russian now, their headquarters are still in the states for legal and tax reasons, I believe.

It's mostly for show, they pretty much admitted recently that they don't care about their english audience and would rather they go away.

Soo, how many terrorist charges would she have accumulated if she did that in the good old US? I daresay she'd already be in a prison for enemy combatants.

I think the Russians will be easier on her than the US. The question is whether she will be handed over to "the system" or someone will use discretion.
