I wonder if the French have a version of The Sun saying something like "It's a European plot to stop something typically French!! If we don't watch out they'll make it illegal for the Gare Du Nord and Paris Metro to smell of p*ss."

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Could be worse, there's a school here in Belgium where smokers have to wear a cancerous-lungs badge
Preferable to that guy's scarf though....
