It's like the joke with the moon landing...

One day the american vice-president went to the president's office
- Mr. President the russians landed on the moon and painted quarter of it on red. Let's go there quick and take the rest of it!
The next day same story...
- Mr. President the russians occupied half of the moon and painted in red, let's act quickly to get the other half!
The third day...
- Mr. president the russioans painted the whole moon in red...it's their territory now!
And the president said:
- Don't worry, get someone to go upthere with some white paint and to write "Coca-Cola" over !
