Those steering the ship and leading the country find themselves the targets of billboard satire.
Rooster right on the money
"Last Saturday around 4pm, my wife and I were sitting out on our deck having our coffee/tea break when all of a sudden we heard a wild rooster crowing for all it was worth at our gate," says Guy Bucchi. "My wife, being sharp, said, 'Guy, c'est le coq qui annonce la victoire de la France ce soir' (it's the rooster announcing France's victory tonight) and put a bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge. Well, you know the outcome, le coq was right, so to thank him, he was left an ear of corn from our garden. At first I thought he was an All Black coq but upon closer viewing, he is a very dark blue, so he's a Bleu coq. I will let you know if he comes back next Saturday to crow."
Dumb and dumber
City bosses in Caracas, the Venezuelan capital, have come up with an odd way of dealing with road chaos - they've employed 120 mimes to make fun of bad drivers who do not follow the road rules. The mimes will spend their days silently wagging their fingers and pulling faces at motorists who are breaking the rules. (Source: Neatorama.com)
