Can we please get back to discussing how Russia is abusing the US yogurt company Chobani by not letting its yogurt cups into the country. This is all over the news wire, every outlet is reporting on it, the Obama administration has intervened, and it needs to be on top page of HN like now. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/06/nyregion/russia-blocking-a-yogurt-shipment-from-reaching-us-olympians.html http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/06/nyregion/russia-blocking-a...

The U.S. blocks the spontaneous import of goods which haven't been certified for the U.S. market all the time, yet when russia applies the same criteria, they're somehow differently evil and/or unsporting? Sounds like freedom hating.

  Yeah! We should stop calling it Greek Yogurt, and start calling it FREEDOM YOGURT!

"The relationship between the United States and Russia is deeply strained,..." What a wasted opportunity for a "strained yogurt" pun.

  Even more wasted was a 'the relationship has soured'.
