More French Cars Up in Smoke

Jean-Beavis and Butt-Head-Luc have once again unleashed their antisocial arsonite tendency across Gallic lands last night, as over 200 cars enjoyed the flambé treatment at the hand of a disgruntled citizenry following the nation's latest election. It's the fourth night in a row of such high-temperature shenanigans in protest of the ascent of right-wing Nicolas Sarkozy to presidential office. On the bright side, it's a reduction of nearly a third of burned-out vehicles from the previous evening, which may suggest that the French are running out of cars.
