Yakov Smirnoff

OK, we all know Yakov Smirnoff for a famous quote:

In America you can always find a party. In Russia the party always finds you.

Apparantly he's also the source of another great quote I've heard plenty of times:

In Russia we only had two TV channels. Channel One was propaganda. Channel Two consisted of a KGB officer telling you: Turn back at once to Channel One.

UPDATE: Yes, thank you, I am aware of the irony of looking up Yakov Smirnoff in tabbed browsing. In Soviet Russia, browser keep tabs on you!
