It reads : “Spanking soon to be forbidden in France” and “So, how am I goig to run the country?”
I’m French (so excuse me if there are any english mistakes) and I think this pic might have something to do with the fact that a law was discussed a few years ago to prevent parents from spanking their children (as it is the case in some northern european countries). But it did not pass!
The caption roughly translates as “spanking will now be forbidden in France”. The Prime Minister, Francois Fillon, is depicted as spanking a female minister because she has said or done something outside of the party line/platform. He is saying “and how do you think I should govern?”.
Heh, Adele, I wonder if that’s a regional slang issue? In my part of the United States, “suit” means “suit-wearing person” more often than it means “suit of clothes”, and the people so designated come with heavy connotations of uselessness, interchangeability, and general executive-level cluelessness.
As far as I can tell, and mind you it’s been well…awhile since high school French,
the title reads “The Smacking Soon to be Prohibited in France” the odd thing is the dialog reads, again roughly, “how are you going to control me?”
Not necessarily political, though, unless you recognize the characters as being members of French government. More likely it is lamenting the end of the era of Domestic Spanking in France, at least the non-consensual version of it.
Ah, I needed a bit of help from babblefish for the rest, but reading the blog, apparently it is governmental after all.
“Obviously, the smacking returns to the full gallop in the caricaturists who seem to think that this is the best means for our Minister of tancer to deal with those of its young female ministers who orate without following the governmental lineā¦ Why not?
"...a heavy round wooden paddle with a hole in the middle that leaves fearsome red bruises. And then the shaking girls with beaten butts and tearful faces receive another terrible punishment..."
Translation:
> Spanking – soon to be outlawed in France.
Bubble: How am I supposed to govern then?
There’s currently a whole spanking theme around Sarkozy’s government:

(as there have been around other governments ;) The french like a nice spanking too, even if it is ‘le vise anglais’!

LOL When I read the title of this post, I had an image of somebody being spanked by a suit _with nobody inside it_. 8-O

“Spankings soon to be prohibited in France”
“So how will I rule, then?”
[…] Spankboss posts a spanking cartoon. With a French caption. I’ve no clue what it says, but I like it: […]
