We earlier reprinted the cover of a comic book parody, Banned in Belgium. And you are all by
now familiar with the French-condemned gesture of la quenelle.
Here is the latest forbidden image; tweeting it in France brought a hefty fine and a prison
sentence to the satirist.
[Trigger Warning: very very bad !!]
[Disclaimer: If you lie within the long reach of
French law, you are strictly forbidden from viewing this.]

Bike-time for Bonzo |
(That one gives a whole new meaning to the expression “dirty
French postcards”.)
Some French observers objected to the harsh sentence handed
down (though many bien-pensants objected that it was too lenient):
Alors
que nombre d’hommes politiques se voient ridiculisés de la même manière par des
dessins agressifs voire odieux (Le Pen, Sarkozy, et autrefois Mitterrand par
exemple).

That objection, however, ignores the Fundamental Tenet of
the French Legal System:
Un Poids -- Deux Mesures
(Translation:
Don’t you dare put the goose-sauce on that gander!)
Since, however, we ourselves are not subject to Gallic
interdictions, we herewith reproduce some other pleasant depictions of our
primate cousins astride a bike.
Appreciate your American freedoms, while they last. In France, those could land you in jail.
