Chris in Paris has been sharing some humor flying around the Net about the French presidential elections (the final round in the election takes place in two weeks). The current crop is about Nicolas Sarkozy, the conservative candidate who some think is harping just a wee bit too much on the people's fear of everything (sound familiar?).
First we have a shot of Sarkozy and his campaign slogan, "Together, everything is possible." Sarkozy is standing next to Jean-Marie Le Pen, the far-right racist politician (kind of France's version of a mix between Pat Buchanan, Tancredo and David Duke).
The next one plays off Sarko's campaign slogan again, but includes a few more words.
Translation (more or less):
Together, without the poor, the foreigners, welfare recipients, the left, the extreme left, the communists, the homosexuals, the HIV+s, the disabled, the Ministries of Education and Culture, independent journalists, blacks, Arabs, and the guy who stole my wife, everything is possible.And finally, Sarkozy is very short and rumored to wear platform shoes. Below is his official portrait that will hang in all government offices should he get elected.
