Belarus Suffers Porn Shortage

Katya Tylevich

In an otherwise alarming report about Internet crimes, this hilarious bit of information from news site Lenta.ru: at present, there's no porn of any kind on Belarusian Internet servers. That's right, zero porn. This according to officials from the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs, who claim instead that the majority of Internet porn comes from countries like the United States. Ironclad logic here: the U.S. has a lot of porn, so we must have none. If this is some sort of New Cold War strategy, we're not sure to whose advantage it's working.

Just last spring, Alexander Lukashenko, Belarus' dictator-ish president for the past 15 years, hired Margaret Thatcher's master PR guy to boost his image abroad. Something tells us this "no porn" statement wasn't part of the official spin campaign.
