Anna Chapman? Bimbo or Mata Hari?
Is there anything to this "deal' or is it all media BS?

Watching the 'Dateline' special I find this to be nothing more than media hype.
But maybe Sparky knows??????

Thanks for shedding some light in this, Phil. I guess this problem doesn´t apply only to US media; it´s pretty much the same here and everywhere else. I´ve not seen or read anything but world cup related stuff while there were some not so red-and-blue things going on.
BTW, after taking a look at Anna Chapman´s photos I wonder.. why the heck don´t they send such kinda spies here!!!???:love

At least one guy's already divorced her. That can't be a good sign. Plus, she's gotta be a high maintenance kinda gal. Not the type for ol' Erickskiy.
But by all means Normsky, submit your boink application. Ya can't win if ya don't play!

After reading Philskiy's explanation it all makes sense. A media mountain out of a mole hill. I can't wait for this summers lurid 'shark attack!' stories on the news.
Is there a simple BS filter I can buy somewheres so I don't even have to worry about crapola like this????

I saw the B.B.C. News 24 reports of this and they called it "Dramatic Action" when the folks were changing planes... I can't think of anything more boring and tedious than swapping planes.... If you want a filter the "off" button usually works best.... Where's an E.M.P. when you need one?

I´ve been recently using
Scarface: The World is Yours for PS2 as a filter. It has given me good results and even allows you to own all Miami Keys.:thumbsup
