Wrong Photo

The mayor of Kiev city, Leonid Chernovetsky.
Yesterday one of the Britain’s most popular newspapers has published an article about such nasty thing as paedophiles. They needed a photo to illustrate the article so they got one, probably from the online photo banks selling loyalty free photos cheap, probably by just searching for “lie detector” keyword. They blured the face - well, it’s not something where they could not not blur it, and published. But when Russian audience got access to the article they found out that blured-faced-guy is a hero of many Russian internet lore - the mayor of the Kiev city Mr. Leonid Chernovetsky, known in Russia as Leonid-Cosmanaut for his weird behavior, manners and statements.
The screenshot of the Daily Mirror website with the article live.
After the buzz in Russian blogs has reached the editors of the newspaper the article was taken down, but it’s copy is still available (as of now) at the google cache, here is the link.

Errmmm… Hindru? Hindruss… [pause, someone trying to give him a hint] Huh? No, no. [pause]…And for others. [another hint from someone] Huh? Yes, yes those who are into Hinduism, and are into [pause again] Buddhism.”
