In the truth is stranger than fiction dept, French satirical investigative journalism weekly “Le Canard Enchaîné,“ has outed holier-than-thou French president, Nicolas Sarkozy for violating copyright laws.
In a stunning display of hypocrisy, the presidential department of audiovisual services produced 400 unauthorized copies of the 52 minutes documentary “A visage découvert : Nicolas Sarkozy“. This while President Sarkozy, just happens to be the one pushing the HADOPI law, which would disconnect the Internet service of an alleged copyright pirate after three allegations of infringement.
This isn't the first time he's been connected to copyright violations, either. His party had to pay €30K for using a song at a political rally without authorization. If he were subject to his own law, which is in effect a three strikes and you’re out provision, President Sarkozy would be having his Internet disconnected the next time he pirates something.
I wonder if Carla has checked her CD collection recently?
My old History teacher used to say:
"The French are always revolting."
He used to get a great sense of satisfaction from telling us this.
One of mine used to say "The bird is on the wing." To which we always replied "I thought the wing was on the bird!" Nothing like stupid school humor. Speaking of which, I see they've done a re-make of St Trinians, which from the reviews seems to suck. How can you top Alastair Sim?

Nor the dodgy spiv with pub piano music every time he appears.
Just watched Ice cold in Alex again.
Great film.
How come Hollywood hasn't done a remake yet?
After all Hollywood rewrote the Enigma Code Variations.

Next time I am there, we have to go out and get fucked up at the "Frog and Nightgown." I have a feeling it would be fun.
It's a deal.
The age old adage rings truer still !
"Sarkozy, is the lowest form of ***"
