A member of the color guard holds a French flag as President Barack Obama listens to remarks by President François Hollande of France during the State Arrival Ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House, Feb. 11, 2014.
Your assignment is to identify which of the two men in the picture is the president of France.
Some folks would tell you they’re both presidents of France, but only one of them is married to Marie Antoinette.
And now, for your entertainment pleasure, hot off the editing table (actually, it was made in 2013): Vive la France.
Muzafar and Feruz are two good-hearted shepherds from Taboulistan… a tiny country in Central Asia that no one has ever heard of.
In order to bring his country into the international limelight, the son of the Tabouli president decides to try terror “advertising” and entrusts the two shepherds, more naive than evil, with the mission of a lifetime: destroying the Eiffel Tower!
To meet their objective, they have to move through the most hostile territory imaginable: France! A France far different from the West they had heard described: Corsican nationalists, over-zealous policemen, dishonest taxi drivers, violent sports fans, crabby employees, unfriendly waiters, Kafkaesque administrations and medical malpractice… they are spared nothing.
A little Sacha Baron Cohen, but what the heck.
Luckily they meet Marianne, a young and pretty reporter who mistakes them for illegal aliens and helps shows them another face of France… a hospitable, magnificent and generous land where the living is easy. Vive la France!
