Outrage at Russian donkey parasail beach promotion stunt
Outrage at Russian donkey parasail beach promotion stuntRussian businesses men have sparked outrage after tying a donkey to a parasail and allowing it to glide above a beach in southern Russia for half-an-hour.
Witnesses to the stunt have claimed that the donkey was clearly baying in fear and that when it landed, it was dragged several meters along the water before being pulled out.
The stunt was carried out as a promotion by the businessmen in the village of Golubitskaya, who were hoping to attract people to their private beach.
They are now expected to face charges for animal cruelty.

At least it wasn't Spain...they would have trailed it from a plane before dropping it on the beach from 10,000ft...hola!
Yeah, Spain really hate Donkeys. An interesting article can be found here:

...beats a donkey ride on Blackpool beach any day.
In all seriousness though - a guerrilla stunt gone very wrong in so many ways - I fear the "businessmen" behind this may only see the ice beaches of Siberia for a while - a lot of negative PR for Russia.
So why does this appear in the Scottish selection, infact why is this story on here at all?!
They'd have got even more coverage if they'd used a famous racehorse.
Missed opportunity.

Guerrilla marketing gone wrong? Nah! Duennkey Marketing gone right.
My spies in Russia have told me that this is simply a cover-up story, the Russians have created a decoy to cover up their new experiments into military methods training there new suicide donkey parachute regiment. Panic over.
