Sarkozy-Bruni Affair Story Another ‘Internet Thought Experiment’

by Ken Layne  3:08 pm March 11, 2010

Regardez-moi, Je suis le plus beau du quartier.Hooray, basically all news is now just an experiment by some bored professor or newspaper intern to show that you, the person who reads shit on the Internet all day, will happily repeat and re-blog and re-tweet any fucking thing you hear or see, about anything, instantly, because that’s all people do in 2010. And that means your favorite president of France right now, Nicholas Sarkozy, and Wonkette’s favorite French singer right now (except for maybe Charlotte Gainsbourg), Carla Bruni, are still married and not known to be actually screwing around on each other yet.

Here is something our friends at The Awl blockquoted from some other website, and which we are repeating here with nary a motherfucking thought about its validity or veracity:

The news magazine L’Express said on its website last night that the rumours had been started by a “journalist intern” or trainee as an exercise to test the gullibility of the media. It said that the reports had been picked up by the blogs of “respected” web journalists but only as a “running gag”. The blogs had, inadvertently, given credence to the rumours and allowed them to make the leap into Italian and British newspapers, which reported this week that “all of France” was chattering about the alleged affairs.

Let’s post another picture of Carla Bruni and hit “Publish,” what do you say?
Re-tweet this fucking post!

I’m having some thought experiments right now, but none of them involve Sarkozy.

President Inaugural Balls March 11, 2010 at 3:14 pm

Ken,

Just to be sure, try posting more pictures of her and hitting “publish.” Never hurts to practice.

Nikolai Vsevolodovich Stavrogin March 11, 2010 at 3:16 pm

I’m going to need to see some more pictures to settle this one way or the other.

forgracie March 11, 2010 at 3:16 pm

I think Ken is feeling randy baby!

P.S. Thanks for the hawt chick on the john pic….

Mr Blifil March 11, 2010 at 3:17 pm

Well at least she’s a tad more fun to think of than wheezing old Senators playing snap the towel while hairily, grossly, nakedly cavorting with each other in the Senate steamroom as prelude to marathon dick-choking sessions.

See? No matter how descriptive, right-thinking persons will retain the picture of Carla Bruni in their mind’s eye rather than Ben Nelson’s udders or Robert Byrd’s dangling, lopsided, wrinkled testicles. Uhhh…wait a second…maybe I should start over…

Lazy Media March 11, 2010 at 3:17 pm

OK, fine, but what about that girl that Sarkozy killed in 1990?

KilgoreTrout_XL March 11, 2010 at 3:19 pm

That’s my favorite frenchy magazine intern ever. Let’s buy him a baguette and a hunk of cheese and some ennui and then give him a bath!

[re=528982]ManchuCandidate[/re]: But do they involve Tickle fights?

Hmmmmm….Was there no way to work snorkeling into this post, Ken? You’re a professional for gods sake!

Dammit, Ben Nelson! This time you’ve gone too far!

Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire March 11, 2010 at 3:24 pm

I would totally grope her in a non-sexual way.

SayItWithWookies March 11, 2010 at 3:24 pm

What an amateur — if he wants to see a hoax that got picked up as a running gag and grew legs of its own, he should check out the idea that tax cuts increase revenue. Or that “driving a truck” is a qualification for national office. Or that if you want to make a comeback, you should hire Ari Fleischer to help orchestrate it.

GOPCrusher March 11, 2010 at 3:29 pm

So that Socialist asshole, Sarkozy, is married to that?
TEAM SOCIALISM!!!

JMP March 11, 2010 at 3:31 pm

See, people, if we had more nude or near-nude political figures like that, the public would pay a lot more attention to politics. Instead, we get (ugh) Rielle Hunter and lots of (ew ew ew) wrinkled old men snorkeling. At least the women and gays got their Scott Brown.

There’s no need for these professors and interns to run their own experiments on the media’s gullibility; we’ve already had one for years, it’s called the Drudge Report; and they still keep reprinting everything he says.

She is a tad gorgeous.

Carla, you’re a perfectly lovely girl, but you really should fire the decorator who convinced you that floral headboards were a good idea.

Extemporanus March 11, 2010 at 3:36 pm

[re=528993]The Little Rock[/re]: I’m guessing they involve French tickle fights.

Hooray For Anything March 11, 2010 at 3:38 pm

[re=528989]Mr Blifil[/re]: Yeah, fucking French– all of our sex scandals involve really ugly and mainly old people. Why can’t we have one of our hot politicians have an affair with a hot rock star?

Crank Tango March 11, 2010 at 3:39 pm

um, so according to the alt text, carla bruni is a dude?

Extemporanus March 11, 2010 at 3:40 pm

[re=529011]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Floral headboards are very forgiving of errant facials.

[re=529019]Extemporanus[/re]: Given that floral pattern, I can totally see why. But really, is there truly any such thing as an errant facial?

Of course you had to pick Serge and Birkin’s daughter. What about Francoise Hardy or France Gall?….or at the very least Emily Simone.

Extemporanus March 11, 2010 at 4:06 pm

[re=529026]Way Cool Larry[/re]: That verb tense is only used in formal situations, or when one is unfamiliar with l’objet de la fappage.

So yes, you’re right, I should’ve said “fappez”.

[re=529030]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: An excess of botox, boner pills, and oysters can make the blowback of even the most mundane facial look like the morning after a bukkake bash for the blind.

Anyway, one can’t blame Carla for swooning over Benjamin Biolay. She’s probably had a crush – like most 14 year old French girls – since she first saw his photos on the “Negatif” CD cover.

Prommie March 11, 2010 at 4:42 pm

[re=529079]S.Luggo[/re]: In the words of Chris Rock, of course he tried to get her a job, she was his friend, thats what you do for your friends. I bet 3/4ths of the people here got the job they have now because their freind put in a word for them.

S.Luggo March 11, 2010 at 4:44 pm

And Carla wonders why no one takes her opinions seriously.

BTW: She looks like a baked ham in that top photo.

[re=529079]S.Luggo[/re]: Your rumor-starting thought experiment will fail; because it’s true.

Also! I’m very offended by these pictures of Bruni! Why doesn’t she have absurdly large breast implants like *Real American Girls* do, huh? Does this French dame she think she’s somehow better than us?

Neilist March 11, 2010 at 5:34 pm

The only Frenchwoman who really could sing is that gal named after that rice dish.

You know, what’s her name: Michelle Rice-A-Roni?

Hmmm.

Doesn’t sound right.

It is part of cooperative agreement between the Chinese and the CCEO (Obama) of GM to destroy Toyota and increase the value of the car company they jointly own…

Wait, wait. I’m very confused. I’ve been told for my whole adult and pubescent life that French girls are disgusting, hairy and like to eat old smelly cheese and other old smelly things. Could it be I was misinformed? In our country politicians get the absolute worst of the opposite sex, so is France our politican’s sexual doppelganger? Can you get a good steak in Nice? A jack and soda on the Riviera? And socialized medicine for my exploding liver? The nude beaches aren’t as full of strange guys and hairy chicks as the pubs have always told me? Damn, I’M THERE!

loupgarous March 15, 2010 at 12:47 am

Yeah, but the French health care system’s about to go tits-up, for the same reason ours will if we get one. And the only thing that is even remotely appealing tits-up in France is Carla Bruni.
