Awesome or Off-Putting: (Video) Finally – Undeniable UFO Proof That You Can Take All The Way To The Bank (Unless You Can’t)
Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, ancient artifacts, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable. Roswell's big problem is it's all word of mouth. There are these tremendous claims of what went on there, but why believe a low-brow farmer? The same goes for Kecksburg. Sure, we've heard the military hauled out a tarp-covered something-or-other that was shaped like a gigantic acorn, but show us the pictures. That said, there's finally a UFO-crash discovery that was caught on film - and we owe it all to commie-riddled Russia!

Miss World 2008 Won By The Dirty Ruskies
The two big beauty contests on the planet are Miss Universe - where everybody openly hates America - and Miss World. Miss World doesn't hate America. Or if it does, at least it's clever about it. For instance, just look at who won Miss World 2008 this weekend - America's arch enemy Russia. Russia's Kseniya Sukhinova has been crowned as the new Miss World, and she's a worthy winner. Not just because she looks good in a bikini, though - Sukhinova also excelled in the 'fashioning a small boat out of raw materials' and 'kicking footballs' rounds. Honestly. Truly she is the pinnacle of humanity.

Awesome Or Off-Putting: The Tunguska Blast
Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, myths, ancient artifacts, religion, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable. The Tunguska Blast may not have been a big deal had Bruce Willis been alive to save the world from it. Well, we say the world, but really we mean over 80 million trees, a bunch of wildlife, and definitely anyone who was out jogging in 1908 Russia miles away from the closest anything at all. You see, on June 30, 1908 in Russia there was a huge explosion way out in the middle of nowhere. It leveled 2,150 square kilometres (830 square miles) of trees - and for the longest time nobody knew what happened. Even after all this time nobody's absolutely sure - but science has a pretty good idea. And they don't think it was a temporary miniature black hole, an exploding alien space ship or Paul Bunyan with something to prove.

Eurovision Brings Back Juries Just To Annoy The Ruskies
Fact: every conversation about Eurovision in recent years will have included the phrase "Oh, but it's so political these days" at least 500 times. That's because it's true. The Eurovision Song Contest has got so political these days. The proof? The UK hasn't won Eurovision for over a decade, regardless of whether we've entered a rubbish holiday camp cabaret act or a hamfisted reality TV show runner-up. It's a flipping disgrace. But Eurovision won't be political for much longer, because Eurovision bigwigs are bringing back national juries in a bid to end the tactical voting that's destroyed the contest's credibility in recent years. At last! Now when the UK comes last at next year's Eurovision we'll know for certain that it was because our entry was genuinely awful and not because everyone's quite scared of Vladimir Putin.

All Crying, Self-Harming Emo Children To Be Banned In Mother Russia
Being a child is really annoying isn’t it? You’re not quite old enough to go out and enter the big wide world. Instead, mummy still plops you in the shopping trolley at Asda, gives you a bib at feeding time and still tucks you in at night to make sure the monsters don’t attack you. However, when you reach the age of thirteen/fourteen something magically happens! Young girls and boys develop a mini sense of direction. Granted, they're only copying what they see on the TV and need their parents to buy all the essential clobber for them, but they are independent, cool and part of a movement. Over the years the most popular fad has been Emo. Dressing in black and looking like a box of pins has exploded in their faces, they’ve worried councillors, coffin-dodgers and corner shop owners. It’s not just the UK that has this problem, it's Russia too and, in a strange move, the country wants to ban Emo culture.
