Spartan army

The Minister of Defense Krasimir Karakachanov believes that the Bulgarian Army performs its duties conscientiously, despite the lack of money.

Inspired by the international success of the Spartan-clad warriors on London’s tube for the promotion of “300: Rise of an Empire”, Spartan warriors stormed through the streets of Beijing for a publicity stunt aimed at promoting salad eating. Unfortunately, they got more than they bargained for as police detained at least two of the dozens of foreign men dressed as Spartans.

“This is …London”!?

It was a glorious publicity stunt — not the debut of surly recruits of a new subway police force which commuters on London’s famous Tube saw this week in the form of … 300 Spartan warriors.

If their outfits and demeanour looked “Hollywood familiar” it was due to the promotion for the release on DVD of the historical fantasy 300: Rise of An Empire.
