There is never any respite with Nicolas Sarkozy. When France's president is not touring the world to save it, he's threatening to sue journalists or publishers for lèse majesté. Unlike any French president before him, he hasn't understood that universal suffrage has elevated him above all parties and trite bickering. In fact, Nicolas Sarkozy remains what he always was: a business lawyer. Little did he expect though, when he sued a publisher for commercialising a
voodoo doll representing him, that a judge would rebuke his demand.
A French judge decided that "this unauthorised representation of Nicolas Sarkozy's image does not degrade his human dignity and cannot be considered as a personal attack. Nor does it represent a violation of his rights over his image." Described by the judge as "une oeuvre de l'esprit", the voodoo doll "is in line with what is allowed under the freedom of speech and the rights to humour … Nobody can fail to see that this doll doesn't promote voodooism as practised in the West Indies. A judge doesn't have to appreciate of the good or bad taste of such concept."
