French political puppet satire so savage it made an IMF boss cry into his leopard-print robe.
Much has been written about the Sofitel affair in New York. It was probably the most widely covered story in the press in 2011. A perfect subject for newspapers and satirical shows. Top of the list is Les Guignols, who, for the release of their annual DVD, chose to feature Dominique Strauss-Kahn in a leopard-print bathrobe on the cover. The title of this best-of is "La sextape des Guignols". This is unlikely to amuse the ex-IMF boss's communicators, who have been working on correcting his image for several weeks now.
