Today is the day that Cannes lost all legitimacy.

The three chinned slug was awarded the Palme D'Or award. And you though you wouldn’t live to see the day when art and main stream politics converged. More then that, the French were allowed to behead an American president live on Euro TV. Just kidding.

But the significance of awarding the Palme D'Or should not be lost on anyone. It is a political statement and the message, once translated, is clear.

“We, tha weesel communiti currently occuupyeeng the territory south of England, loathe all that is American and espezially hate your le prezident for because of him wee will no longher have private oil benefits with Mr. Saddam. So to really hit our point of hatred home wee will award our highest honor to a typical fat ugly American.”

It is further worth noting that the film received a meager 75% approval rating on RottenTomatoes.com, whereas “Mean Girls,” “Shrek 2” and even “Miracle” did much better.
