According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, his country's citizens aren't doing their patriotic duty and having enough babies. As a result, Russia's population is falling by about 700,000 every year. According to Putin, that's "one of the most serious problems facing the country."Well, never let it be said that all I do is criticize and never offer solutions. Message to Vladimir Putin: I truly care! With that in mind, here are a couple of possible answers to your procreation problem:
1) Import Britney Spears, who reports that there's "another baby on the way." Make Britney an honorary Russian citizen (maybe Kevin Federline too), and watch your birth rate start to climb!
2) Make Spears' hit song, "...Baby, One More Time," Russia's new national anthem. Sure seems more likely to get people "in the mood" than singing about "Russia - our sacred sovereignty." Don't like that idea? Well then, how about Madonna's "Papa don't preach" (key lyric: "I'm gonna keep my baby"), George Michael's "I Want Your Sex" ("Sex is natural - sex is good; Not everybody does it
But everybody should!") or even Paul Anka's "Having My Baby" ("What a lovely way of sayin' how much you love me!"). As I told you earlier, Vlad, I truly care!
3) If all that fails, here's an outside-the-box thought: spike the Vodka with Viagra! And keep that Russian spark alive!
