Court: Sarkozy Voodoo doll should not be stabbed

PARIS – A French appeals court says Voodoo dolls of President Nicolas Sarkozy may remain on sale, but must carry a notice saying that pricking them harms the president's dignity.

Sarkozy's attorney had asked that the dolls be withdrawn from sale, saying the president like any French person owns the right to his own image.

The appeals court backed an earlier ruling allowing the dolls to stay on the market in the name of freedom of expression.

But it ordered the doll's marketer, publishing house K&B Editions, to add a warning that using the needles which come with the kits "constitutes an attack on the personal dignity of Mr. Sarkozy."

"Nicolas Sarkozy: The Voodoo Manual" costs euro12.95 ($16.50) and includes a handbook and 12 pins.

There are loons running amok everywhere.

2. So shooting them, burning them, hanging them are all OK, just don't prick them.
Really now, this is just some stupid shit. Nice to see that stupid shit comes from places other than the US, and that we don't have a monopoly on it.

5. Sadly, "dumber than dog shit" sums up the human condition nicely
And being dumber than dog shit is a condition not limited to race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, or anything else.

7. Given the entreprenurial spirit of Amurkins
I'd have to say I'm amazed that someone has not started selling voodoo dolls of you know who.

Made in China of course.
