Foreign Policy Magazine has topped itself. Forget the Failed States Index. We give you: The World's Worst Daughters. Even better, our very own Gulnora Karimova -- daughter of Uzbek toughman Islam Karimov -- has scored the number one slot.
Take that Pinthongta Shinawatra of Thailand!
As FP puts it, when Karimova isn’t closing her ex-husband’s Coca-Cola bottling businesses out of spite, deporting his family “at gunpoint to Afghanistan,” or building an Uzbek tea empire, she’s sending “hooded men with machine guns to shut down a rival company and liquidate their holdings.”
But it’s not all guns, goons and ex-husbands for Karimova. She also has an gentle, artistic side.
“In recent years, Karimova has been focusing on her budding music career. A music video she recorded under the name GooGooSha, her father’s pet name for her, was in near-constant rotation on Uzbek MTV in 2006.”
This story is just too awesome for words.
(Thanks to Leopolis, for scouting out the list.)

It is mostly unintelligible for me, though I always thought I spoke a language close to Uzbek :)
The song is called "Do not forget me" and it starts with a line "if you leave me, I will die".
interesting, because from what i gather from this post, it's more likely she would say, "if you leave me, YOU WILL DIE"

BTW, after watching the video, I was surprised to see that Uzbekistan has flying cars.
We dropped the ball by not reporting on that earlier.
BTW, I am starting to adore Googoosha, and think to forgive his father for all that Boris Akunin case.
Am I corrupt?
Just seduced. =)
I've been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, yet I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours. It's lovely worth enough for me.
In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did,
the net will be much more helpful than ever before.
