Funny Bus Poster For French Magazine That Would Cause People To Chase The Editor With Pitchforks And Torches In USA
Photo taken by a friend of mine in Paris. Posted as a link so I could put it up full size rather than blog-sized.
Translation: "The French, Politics, and Sex."
"Gauche" is left. "Droite" is right. "Hollande" is this guy. Most of the rest, you can probably manage by yourself. The Islam one is particularly funny, as is the vegetarian.
I do not wish to be a séparatiste.
But if I'm reading this right, I come away with the notion that all politicians are dicks.
Non?

Or is it that the French are all weenies?
I wonder if the same guy would do a poster of us in the States? Probably hard to do here...

I prefer those Parisian posters with topless women as opposed to cock caricatures but very funny...merci!
"Gauche" is left. "Droite" is right.
For anyone who may not know this... historically, right-handedness was considered to be positive and left-handedness negative, and this bias is reflected in the meanings that words for left and right took on.
For example, we have the positive words adroit (from droite) and dexterous (from Latin for right, dexter), and the negative words gauche and sinister (from Latin for left.)
