Russian designer Egor Zhgun, master of cultural commentary via pop-culture-and-politics mashups, remixes Angry Birds (η iphone/ipad παιχνιδάρα των 100εκ. downloads), the theme song from Disney’s 1933 "Three Little Pigs", and current Middle Eastern politics.
Zhgun has a long track record of using popular culture remix to address political issues. His blog is loooaded with remixed movie posters, book covers and other pop culture artifacts. Many of the remixes rely on knowledge of Russian politics that are above my head, while others are more international in scope. Eitherway, I’m excited to see the lulz crossing national borders, and happy to see Russian satire getting love from Internet users around the world. So spend a moment or two checking out the rest of Zhgun’s work – it would be exciting to see him get some love outside the Russian blogosphere.

>> Before seeing Zhgun’s video, my favorite Angry Birds “remix” came from Israeli television show Eretz Nehederet (“It’s a Wonderful Country”), which uses the game to satirize Israeli/Palestinian tensions and endless peace talks:
