And really OT: 'BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD' CAPTIVATING RUSSIAN INTELLIGENTSIA At least some members of Russia's intelligentsia have expressed a fascination for the cartoon show on MTV about two inarticulate teenage boys called "Beavis and Butthead," the "Moscow Times" reported on 25 February. A columnist for "Kompaniya" compared the two cartoon characters to Rousseau's noble savages, while a member of a Moscow literary salon compared the show favorably to the works of Russian film director Andrei Tarkovskii. "Izvestiya" reported earlier that the show has started affecting the behavior of Russian teenagers, causing many of them to "giggle" like Beavis and "moo" like Butthead whenever they are gathered in groups of more than two. Part of the show's popularity can likely be attributed to Russian MTV's skillful translation of U.S. slang. For example, "cool" becomes "kruto" or the nearly archaic "klyovo." "Buttmunch" and "dillweed" are not translated literally, but the words "baklan," which means "cormorant," and "pelmen," which means "dumpling," are used instead. JAC
