When politics and pop culture meet, it’s always a little fun to watch the synergy. Adverlab points us to this spot for Louis Vuitton, which slid from the Lolita-esque Scarlett Johanssen series to a celebrity survey that includes Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet Union’s first (and last) president.

The New York Times observes that Gorbachev “appears the last comfortable […] holding on to a door handle, as if the bag contained polonium 210.”

Upon examining Gorbachev’s expression, and then the bag, we’ve concluded there’s definitely not a bowling ball in it. (Although it may well be perestroika.)
