There's one picture with no context and two comedians with
no clue. This is Picture Discuss. In this episode, a
horse painted to resemble a zebra is being led across
a busy street with a Russian sign across his back.
Can Michelle Brazier and Kate Dolan tell us what is happening?
The truth behind this picture will be at the end

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Sure, So I am seeing what's clearly a Russian mixed
breed rescue dog going for a walk.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
That's what I'm seeing.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
No, it's a horse in a costume with a bit
of paint like a zebra with a big yellow sign
on its back, and a handler and a film crew.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah, and a lot of people around it. Not seeming
to pay any attention to it.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
No, which is crazy because it's clearly a star.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Michelle, this is actually a zebra crossing with a zebra crossing.
It is this inception for the equine world.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
This is inception for the equine world.
Speaker 7 (01:30):
I want to point out this horse is definitely like
a queer icon, Like you've got a.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Harness that's like pretty horny. Like I'm not saying I'm
horny for the horse.
Speaker 7 (01:41):
I'm just saying if there are other horses around, they'd
be like, there's some clear signals here as to what
kind of horse receptive we're dealing with. Yes, I think
this horse is great. This is like a Lady Gaga
kind of vibe of a horse because that.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
The bridle at the front of its head.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
That's a warning, that's hawny.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
That is that's purchased from bras and things.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yes, that is a big that's a big.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
It's like anniversary gift kind of thing. Yes, yea, there's
been a bit of a bump in the marriage.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, things bridle and then it's ended up on the
face of a horse.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
Yeah, and that that happens, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
And the handler is looking with pure, pure jealousy.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
She's like, I wish I could pull that off, but
she can't. Look at her face is too small.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
There's a news crew filming in the background. It's to
the right hand side. We can see them quite intently
filming everything. It appears, but the zebra horse.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
Yeah, maybe the zebra is the presenter and is off
off camera for the moment. I don't know what's going on, Like,
what is it a protest? There's a sign on the
on the horse that's been painted like a zebra.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
This is the Louis through of the Animal Kingdom for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, journalist for is that?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Like?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
You know?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
So I I.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Decided to dress myself up and take to the streets
to see what the people were talking about. Yes, it
actually seemed that I became the crossing.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
This is Yeah, I don't know what this this is here.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Let's let's address the really obvious thing here is that
you're fooling no one Russia.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
That is a horse.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I mean Russia does this time and time again where
they try to get us to believe something and we go.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Came this was seriously, we know what you're doing there, Russia.
That's an invasion.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, when you're unlawfully into somebody else's country.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That's an invasion. And this is actually a painted horse.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Again, and look, we know it's Russia because I mean
one of the telltale signs is obviously the riding on
the placa, but if you needed to, you know, a
secondary form of information there the person with the ratstail
ponytail crossing in the opposite direction. There there, there's a
ponytail there which is ironically better than the ponytail on
(04:17):
the freaking horse and has matched that with what can
only be described as eighties acid washed acid wash.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
But in a more current time that is Russia.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
I could I think that could be Fitzroy.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
You really don't.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Term sure, sure, if they're playing the irony game, but
I don't think that's irony.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Somewhat embarrassing for me to be taking my fashion looks
from what seems to be an eleven year old girl
in this photo.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
That's your sweater is from the same place as hers,
which is sweaters and.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Things, sure for sure?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, yeah, so the horses, yeah, well there because the
bridles come from bras.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
And things, and I'm actually wearing that as well.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, for deal and things and sweaters and things. And
also to just like an interesting point of just clocked
now is beyond the girl with the flowers on her
sweater is a woman in fact wearing zebra. Oh wow,
(05:29):
we have gone into this is not the first time,
but the second fake zebra.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
That's the second or is it the original? Face? Is
that patient zero? Fake zebra?
Speaker 6 (05:37):
That's not it.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
She's painted as well. That's just painted on a white jacket.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
That's not real.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
It's not real. It's a white jacket with black paint
pretending to be zebra.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Disgusting.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
This is this is Russia. This is why we have
a problem.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
I can't believe this before this guys, what we're looking
at here is communist actions at work.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
This is what it does. This is why we don't
have it here in our free nation.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
I also red they bleached the horse because the hair
is that is dry.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
That is dry. You're right. Actually the main the main
part of the horse, the mainly bit.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
At the top.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
It's got growth, got growth.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, my mum, so this is what my mom did
she listen to that looks like she's problems with roots
growth and constantly we.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Can still tell a long face horse like that. Please
don't you still together for that reason, for that reason.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
So it's the horse is crossing a zebra crossing on
its way to somewhere.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Where is this going? Where where is this?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
And the presume that's the supervisor there, and the high
viz is leading the horse zebra with this placard, possibly.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
To a rally or protest.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
What would they be protesting other than can we please
get some decent denim in this country?
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I mean protest? What they could be protesting?
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Why would mean zebra?
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Like, why would you be dressed up as a zebra.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Maybe they're protesting, you know, the impossible burgers, the fake
meat burgers.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
They like, don't dress it up to be something it's not.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Maybe maybe these are farmers, Yeah, maybe yeah, maybe.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Could be these are people, these are representatives from big
dead animal industry.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That's what they are.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Perhaps maybe they could be protesting. Maybe they could be
protesting animal print in fashion. Maybe they're going to the
right and maybe they're saying, enough is enough, this is
no longer.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Enough cruelty to animals. We're just going to just do
just this last cruel thing to an animals. This is
the last cruel thing to an animal. And then we're
ending all cruel did animals.

Humiliate this noble beast, just for once, just for once,
this one one horrific on television in the media, humiliation
of a horse that has been painted as a creature

Speaker 3 (08:08):
And then then we're done.
