The last we heard about the Malaysian prime minister, it was 2002 and he was the target of a murder plot arranged by the evil fashion designer Mugatu and nearly carried out by the loveable egomaniac Zoolander.

Now, we hear that the real-life guy is no pawn. If our mom's Facebook account and our grandfather's online dating habits aren't disturbing enough, we find out that former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad is the hottest blogger in Malaysia. The 83-year-old Mohamad served as prime minister for 22 years until 2003. Interestingly, he uses the forum to express outrage for the press controls he implemented.

Posts range from wishing Hindus a Happy Deepavali from he and his wife to missives about why the current weak government will lead to the country's collapse. Old people, they'll say anything.
