NEWS F24: Posters have appeared in Paris showing iconic French comedian Jacques Tati "sans pipe" - because of a ban on tobacco advertising. The pipe has been replaced with a yellow toy windmill which many see as an overdose of political correctness.

  • ..what's next? war movies without guns??

    maybe they should also remove noses from advertising -- after all, don't people snort nasty substances with them, yes?

    now it looks like Jacques Tati was smoking a cigar, and some idiot pasted a windmill over it!!

  • Idiots.

  • Hands off Jacques Tati! This guy was a genius! France can be proud of him! Vive la France! Vive Tati!

  • The pipe, the coat, the umbrella, the hat, these make Tati's "Hulot" character what it is. A windmill? Give me a break!

  • Then don't use his image! WTF! If they want to use his character to celebrate their frenchness or something great france has produced or whatever the poster is advertising, then use it, warts + all. You can't just erase "undesirable" traits from his character! Absolute retards! Use all of him or none at all! Utterly shocking!

  • Give me a break!

  • If you actually do some research about pipe smoking you will find that pipe smoking without inhaling is virtually harmless. Statistics don't lie. People do.

  • CENSORMERDE!!!!

  • Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.

  • the objection to the censorship is actually very funny --- c'est tres tres grave! lighten up my french brothers. tati would have laughed at all of this.

  • Ils sont fous ces Romains !!!

  • im non smoker, but this kind of disgusting censorship just makes me wanna try tobacco pipe
