THE SENSACIST PRESENTS: My Favorite Modern Day Dictators

move over kim jong ill, there is a new disco bitch in town.

so i have totally been in love with saparmurat niyazov, the reigning dictator of turkmenistan for a long time. this motherfucker is totally nuts. he is known as turkmenbashi the great, a totally pimp title and is president for life. in addition to doing such recent things as renaming the month of january after himself and redefining the ages of his people, he has also in the past decreed that young people should not get gold caps or gold teeth but should chew on bones to preserve their teeth, ordered physicians to swear an oath to him instead of the hippocratic oath, banned all video games and closed all of the hospitals and libraries outside of the capital saying that if people are sick they can come to the capital and that turkmen don't read anyway. this bitch also has statues of himself in his ill fitting soviet suit all over the place:



i mean, i don't even know what to say other than the fact that this dude rules, literally, oh and he is separated at birth from wayne newton.

call me?
