Why are you promoting this Freepay-Shit?!

Thanks for heads up on this, retrokatze. The offer comes from reputable ad network, so we have no reason to suspect otherwise, but we'll look into this.
That video is directly from Planet Earth, Episode 1 - Pole to Pole, and is one of the many species of bird of paradise. It's a great miniseries (11-episode documentary) by Discovery Channel and BBC.
The police of the riots reminds me of the combine in Half Life 2

Those russian PBF masks crack me up - it's like they deliberately went out to design something more half-life than half life!
They do look very mickey mouse with a helmet on tho ... and those masks are available on ebay so you can too! Handy for fancy dress or just for nipping to the shops after the bomb drops ;)
