The New Banana Republic: France!

Following Sarkozy’s horribly embarrassing nepotistic naming of his 23 year-old son to the powerful political post inside EPAD, the reactions are numerous. Many college students are requesting to be adopted by Nicolas Sarkozy so they’ll have a better chance at “finding” a good job; people are outraged, defenders are insisting little Sarkozy got elected! Whatever. WHY do you think he was elected? A few words: HIS DAD’S URGING. Duh,people.

Anyway, this one’s my fave. It’s a hilarious spot advertising a fake iPhone app called, “L’application Jean Sarkozy pour L’iPhone.” You don’t need to speak French to understand what that’s all about.

Le Petit Journal of Canal+ had a funny Dallas-like skid on the subject today. Same ingredients: family, power, real estate, money, influence & low blows http://www.canalplus.fr/pid2397.htm&nav=1 (@02:30)

I agree with you, France has become a banana republic and allowing an amerloque’s fast food in the middle of the Louvre does not help at all.
