Holy shit is that supposed to be Nelson Monfort on the top left [img]http://img.tvmag.lefigaro.fr/ImCon/Arti/46176/monfort.jpg[/img] That guy is hilarious
Only fair considering that a large portion of Japanese comics are now illegal in France :v:

France offends is redundant.

Those are some skinny sumo ringers.
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;42164456]Oh my god a satirical picture in a satirical newspaper France certified worse than hitler[/QUOTE] It's not like they're making an innocent joke, they're making light of a fact that killed tons of people and just happened really recently. Families of people who died because of the Fukushima disaster are probably still mourning because of how recently it happened.
I'd say this cartoon isn't half as offensive/culturally insensitive as a lot of the shit that comes out of Japan.
This is their revenge for the character Popple from the Mario franchise.

Japan in full damage control mode. I'm pretty sure it wasn't that long ago that a high up official in Japan said that Japan was the only non white country to be first world or something. Which as you can guess, upset many other Asian countries like South Korea.

France offending other countries, wow it's fucking nothing
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;42165770]Time doesn't heal all wounds.[/QUOTE] Then why should people wait?
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;42165759]It's been more than 2 years.[/QUOTE]That doesn't mean shit
[QUOTE=Killer900;42165931]That doesn't mean shit[/QUOTE] Some people are still butthurt about 9/11 Some people are still fucking butthurt over WWII Because your joke may offend a tiny caste of people doesn't mean you should stop making jokes altogether.

[QUOTE=Aredbomb;42166017]Was he french? I thought he was supposed to be an italian mobster stereotype.[/QUOTE] They gave him a stereotype French accent in the game along with that hat.
Well at least Popeye is fucking badass
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;42165968] Some people are still fucking butthurt over WWII.[/QUOTE]Is France still mad about losing Alsace-Lorraine? And France insulting Japan isn't surprising, they have an entire [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_syndrome]disorder[/URL] revolving around it.
[QUOTE=Cakebatyr;42166805]Is France still mad about losing Alsace-Lorraine?[/QUOTE] Some old men in this day and age still think Germany should have been burnt to the ground and covered in gas so it never grows back after WWII.
