THE TELEGRAPH: A photograph of a man wiping his bottom with the French flag has prompted the government to demand criminal proceedings against the artist that produced it.
The image, one of the winners in a photo contest organised by the book and record shop FNAC in the southern city of Nice, sparked a controversy after it appeared last month in a free national newspaper, Metro.
Justice Minister Michele Alliot-Marie "has demanded that criminal proceedings be launched against this unacceptable act," according to justice ministry spokesman Guillaume Didier. French government calls for punishment for flag-bottom wiping artist >>> | Wednesday, April 21, 2010
