Pic: Vladimir Putin stars in the best ‘small, far away’ reference since Father Ted

Dougal Maguire wouldn’t know what to make of this…

Everyone loves a good optical illusion and everyone loves an optical illusion that produces unintentional hilarity even more.

One wouldn’t exactly associate the word ‘hilarity’ with the official Twitter account of the President of Russia, but fans of childish giggles would have got a good laugh from the below picture of Vladimir Putin meeting with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, that was posted earlier today.

Why? We think you’ll see for yourself…

It becomes even better with the additional and very appropriate Father Ted reference…

We can’t, of course, make reference to one of the most famous clips in the history of Father Ted without giving it another look, so for old times’ sake, here you go.

Never gets old.
