In Mother Russia...

You know how in Mother Russia things you would normally do to a direct object, the direct object tends to do to YOU!?

(For example: "In Mother Russia, Waldo finds you!")

It came from these jokes by Yakov Smirnoff:

• "In Los Angeles, you can always find a party. In Soviet Russia, the Party can always find you!"
• "In America, you can watch television. In Soviet Russia, television watches you!"

These make more sense. I finally get it.
