Hate in Angouleme France
and the
Nicolas shuffle
Video of the actual confrontation:
Blog explaining in detail what happened:
At the forty-first Angouleme International Comics Festival in
Angouleme, France, the French engaged in a pathetic exhibition of Japan
bashing. This was done in the fine tradition
of French justice which is an oxymoron.
One of the Festival organizers shut down the Japan manga booth claiming
it was political and politics was not allowed at the festival. When asked about the South Korean exhibit
bashing Japan over the Comfort Women issue if that was political. He replied, no because it was historical fact. Historical fact?

On a court building in Paris, France, a few blocks near Notre Dame
Cathedral is some type of French court building. On the stone façade of this court building
are the three French words comprising their national motto:
Liberte (liberty)
Egalite (equality)
Fraternite (brotherhood)
There should be a fourth one: Hypocrite
According to a lawyer at the Festival it is a violation of French Law
to deny an historic fact. No one was
denying that Comfort Women existed, just offering an alternate view on how
women became Comfort Women. To offer an alternate
view to an historical fact is also not permitted. Is France a democratic republic? Per Wikipedia the French form of government
is: “Unitary semi-presidential constitutional republic.” Does that mean freedom of expression and freedoms
of speech are not free in the French republic?
Vive La France!
The Frenchman Nicolas in the video could have come right out of Central
Casting in Hollywood to portray all the negative stereotypes in a comedic movie
centered on French eccentricities.
