Then you are right -- it does have vowels. I was thinking it was ridiculous for it's lack of vowels and not the typing of the "Russian" keys. Still funny though. Did this film play in Russia, I wonder? I would think it did. Not that some film outfit really cares, but you have to wonder how Russians took that. I would laugh my arse off, if the tables were flipped...
