I understand that Putin, at 5' 7", is extremely sensitive about his short stature. SO-O-O---

could some hackers invade Moscow's TV and radio broadcasts to play Randy Newman's "Short People" on a continuous loop at full volume?

How 'bout that, "Anonymous"?

…to say, if anyone asked about his height, that he was “just under 6 feet.”
