Bad Translation

Today, it was announced on Russian TV that the President of Iran had been killed by a Mossad agent called “Eli Copter.” Russians found this information in a French news report. And relayed it to the public with all seriousness.

Mocking Russian news is low-hanging fruit but I can’t fail to mention such a huge translation guffaw. “Eli Copter” does sound vaguely Jewish, so it works.
