Grey 'blob' takes seat in Ukraine parliament


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A Ukrainian MP has brought a stuffed toy into parliament in a stunt intended to shame colleagues who don't show up for work.

Independent MP Borislav Bereza arrived with the grey blob-shaped toy on Friday morning and propped it up on a vacant seat. It's a mini copy of the sculpture Homunculus Loxodontus by Dutch artist Margriet van Breevoort, which symbolises the experience of patients waiting to see a doctor. The sculpture became an internet meme in Russia and Ukraine, where it's referred to as Pochekun, meaning "the one who waits".

There are 1455 useless grey blobs sitting in the Commons and Lords.
