VLADIMIR PUTIN IS A STUD

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin -- the country's former president and current strongman -- has decided to make his profile a bit more manly, and he's done so by rescuing journalists, fishing shirtless and, now, filming an instructional judo DVD. No, we really aren't making any of this up. If we did, we'd be shot. So just watch the highlights from the DVD yourself and imagine George Bush in his upcoming role as the Karate Kid IV.
