Vladimir Putin reportedly hires Boyz II Men to help get Russians boning again

by Tyler Munro

Russian President Vladimir Putin is apparently desperate to get his people boning again and he’s reportedly hired Boyz II Men to make it happen. We should probably elaborate.

Last month Putin called a press conference in Moscow where he talked about incentives for families who have more kids. “I am convinced that the norm in Russia should become a family with three children,” he said, adding that “[i]n order for Russia to be a strong and sovereign country, there must be more of us.”

That brings us to word that the “I’ll Make Love To You” singers (now a trio) will hit Moscow’s Crocus City Hall for a chub-inducing set in February, months before they hit the road with 98° and New Kids on the Block.

Okay, so Putin’s involvement is speculation on the Moscow Times‘ part, but the connection seems obvious, no?
