The report said the edition would be printed in 16 languages. Surely
English will be one of them.
Idle curiosity while in a surreal Charlie frame of mind: I have been
told that France has laws, which are enforced, against insulting the
national anthem. Could this be true?
It is now "unfortunately" true, Article 133 of a 2003 Act.
Officially published here in 2010.

However, it doesn't not apply to works of art for it was meant to
tackle football hooligans in the public sphere in the first place
(hence my initial "unfortunately").
A couple of years before Gainsbourg had teased us a little bit with
this.

The guy had bought the original lyrics at an auction.
The right wing was furious and some far-right soldiers threatened him
at a concert in Strasbourg.
But he managed to stop them by singing the original version, which
brought them to attention ...
Now you may have a slight idea of how cheeky the frogs are, and why
Charlie now represents such a symbol.
Hope this helps.

Charlie Hebo out now.
This week's ediition is *3* million copies, so it might be
somewhat eaier
to get one.
It will include a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad holding
a "Je suis Charlie" sign:

In a way, that could be the ultimate act of defiance.
I certainly hope I can get a copy, or at least download a PDF
copy. Perhaps they will do so after the printed copies are
distributed and sold.
