Still Waters Posted February 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2017 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". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-39077631 "Giant Gray Blobby Thing" - https://www.buzzfeed.com/krishrach/this-giant-gray-blobby-thing-has-become-a-huge-meme-in-russi?utm_term=.rv472Yq7Q#.dpMBoLEBj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
