Spitting Images : French diplomacy for beginners

[91zflouze]

c'est super bien!

Ah, Spitting Image... Makes me think of the French version, "Les guignols de l'Info" possibly the best French TV show of the 90's, and what satirical value it had... Also, the sketch is spot on!

@darwincity and one does not need to know too much French pour comprendre, n'est ce pas?

[darwincity]

@alanheath2 Well, one needs a damn good level of French to understand the jokes, because it is quite technical for the majority of the tim, but sometimes the physical humorous simple to understand.

[alanheath2]

@darwincity Maybe yes I suppose so.... I speak French so I don't have to think too much!

Damn I miss this show.

[alanheath2]

@colin5577 So do I! But wasn't it a product of certain age?

[colin5577]

@alanheath2 Yes, I guess it was. Given that I can't stand Facebook, Twitter, the X-Factor, reality TV or the culture of celebrity obsession (it sounds like a list, but they are all symptoms of the same disease), I keep waiting for someone to tell me what is better about today than 15 years ago.

@colin5577 We have the internet now and films on youtube. That is better, surely?
