The picture on the easel was making its way around the internet a while back. I don't remember the story attached to it, though I do recall that the bear is saying something in Russian.

This, apparently, is supposed to represent the picture's, er, moment of conception. I guess.

I tried to find the picture for you, but typing "bear" and "sex" into Google Images with the kiddie filter off was really not helpful, believe me.

John Lurie (the musician) did a painting of a bear saying "hello" in Russian to a couple having sex. Since then it has seized upon by the Soviets ad became the Russian equivalent of "all your base are belong to us" or the ORLY Owl. It has appeared with various Slavic in jokes that I don't get, but that one is pretty clear and damn funny.

The top image on the Roebling Hall Art Gallery page is the original Bear Surprise by John Lurie.

This article from the Moscow Times (in English) shows a detail of the painting with the text in the speech bubble replaced with a word in Russian and some commentary on Russian netspeak.

And this is the Wikipedia entry on the preved meme.
