France has introduced a rule to protect its national flag from insult after a photo of a man wiping his bottom with the tricolour caused outrage.It's no wonder why the French are laughed at (even more so than Americans ... which is hard to do - it's the only thing they excel at it seems.)
Under the rule, anyone caught trying to "destroy, damage or use the flag in a degrading manner" could face a fine of 1,500 euros (£1,250; $1,900).
The offending picture won a prize in a photo contest in the southern city of Nice in March. It was later published in a free national newspaper.
