Good morning, Patriots! Bon matin les socialistes, les mangeurs de fromage avec un mal odeur!
In France, you may soon find yourself forbidden to insult your spouse, on penalty of death -- or at least, some existentially angstful French punishment involving large quantities of very bad American wine and fat-free process cheese food. Talk about sapping all the fun out of a marriage:
It would cover men who shout at their wives and women who hurl abuse at their husbands - although it was not clear [...] if nagging would be viewed as breaking the law.
The law is expected to cover every kind of insult including repeated rude remarks about a partner's appearance, false allegations of infidelity and threats of physical violence.
Electronic tagging has been proposed for repeat offenders -- surgical implantation, we assume. Will this mean the end of The Honeymooners reruns on Parisian television, one wonders.
