Court Allows Sarkozy 'Voodoo' Doll

upi.com — The makers of a Nicolas Sarkozy voodoo doll Friday received appellate court approval to sell the figurine of the French leader. The judges ordered the dolls be sold with a bright-red banner on the packaging alerting buyers of the "Judicial Injunction" and warning that sticking needles into the doll affronts the French president's dignity.

    Free speech FTW!
    Of course the next four years will probably change that.
    • RobotBuddha, on 11/29/2008, -0/+1Meh, it's a choice of which freedoms you're willing to give up. All countries will steal what should be your natural rights, they just all take different ones.
      • jpa82, on 12/01/2008, -0/+1In that case I dislike this european 'nobody wins therefore everyone loses' kind of justice. In this case, the doll maker did not win (they were ordered to print propaganda on their product) and the government did not win (the doll was allowed to be sold). Either give the freedoms out or take them away I say, none of this wishy-washy compromising! Political satire is part of the foundation of free speech so what is the problem here?
