Soviet Russia Jokes
In Slashdot, one of the biggest software/computer news site, one popular kind of joke in the comments is the Soviet Russian joke. The premise is simple: The majority of readers on sites like Slashdot are American. Russia is of course a country with a supposedly very different culture, so everything there must be different! Therefore, to make this kind of joke comment the news or reply the last comment with “In Soviet Russia …” and insert something very absurd there.
Let me teach you. I’m a Slashdot lurker so I feel I’ve got some expertise in this area…
A: In Thailand, one Indonesian student threw a trash on the road and got fined!
B: Well, in Indonesia, even the police throws trash anywhere.
C: In Soviet Russia, the trash throws you!!!
The key is just to make some absurd statement 
News: Sun open sources Java!
A: In Soviet Russia, the code opens you!
Yeah, sometimes it gets tiring, but you get the idea…
News: Obama elected to be the next president.
A: In Soviet Russia, the president elects the people!
Just one last…
News: Abortion rate is increasing!
A: In Soviet Russia, the baby aborts the mother!
I don’t know how popular this joke is outside Slashdot though, and I’ve certainly never read this joke in Indonesian or Japanese. But you can always try

Hmmm… a “must think joke” style
I don’t understand in the part that say
A: In Soviet Russia, the code opens you!
What’s the meaning?

Well, in a normal world, “people open source the code.” It’s just the reverse: “The source code opens you.” If it doesn’t make sense, well, indeed it doesn’t :). It’s just a reverse of the normal world :).
Like in Indonesia, we eat chicken…
So in Soviet Russia… (you know the answer
)
