The satirist and comedian Sophia Aram read out the sex scene on France’s most popular radio station to a soundtrack of Spandau Ballet music amid jokes about the economy on its knees. Julia’s declaration, “I’ve never been this dilated”, sparked ridicule and became the topic of anti-government signs and graffiti at May day demonstrations across France. The public broadcaster France Info said that the sex scene, involving a character called Julia, had been greeted with “mockery and stupefaction”, while the French edition of the Huffington Post headlined its story “Bruno Le Maire has written about an anus and no one was ready for this.” But it was a sex scene in chapter 11 that has gone viral and prompted French satirists and protesters to ridicule Le Maire. The minister’s book is a fictionalised account of the pianist Vladimir Horowitz, told through the story of two brothers who travel to Cuba to attend one of his concerts. The novel was published hours before the credit ratings agency Fitch downgraded the country’s debt worthiness last week, feeding accusations from leftwingers that writing the novel had taken Le Maire’s focus off the economy and inflation. ![]() ![]() That is, if she can manage her temperamental Red Cleaver chef the consequences of her favorite Galactic ex-tyrant's dark history the tangled politics of an interstellar nation, and oh, yes, keep the wedding candidates from a dozen alien species from killing each other. ![]() Dina is never one to back down from a challenge.
