You have got to be kidding me:
the Sun risked a $48,000 fine by publishing a special French edition, which blasted Chirac as a “worm” on its front cover. France’s “insult laws” make it a criminal offense to disparage the president (from Slate).
Although come to think of it, if we passed such a law in the US, then the anti-war protestors, who have been piling on Dubya, could easy foot the bill for the deficit.
