p2pnet view P2P | Politics:- One of the Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music’s most famous employees, French president Nicolas Sarkozy, has been bombed.

Google bombed.

Sarkozy, married to failed singer Carla Bruni for whom he has pulled many strings,  is infamous for dancing to Hollywood and Big Music’s tune with Hadopi, as it’s called, the French version of the corporate entertainment industry’s Three Strikes And You’re Off The Net ‘law’.

Now, his name is being linked to the phrase ‘trou du cul‘, or ‘asshole’. But it’s nothing to do with his depredations on behalf of the entertainment cartels.

“The French president has lost popularity recently”, says the Telegraph, going on:

“Yesterday, two million people in France threatened to strike over Sarkozy’s pension reforms which would see the pension age in France rise from 60 to 62 years-old.

“There is also anger at Sarkozy’s crackdown on Roma and his drive to dismantle illegal camps and expel ethnic gipsies to their native Bulgaria and Romania.”

Within a few hours of it appearing the Google bomb stopped working, says the story.

Meanwhile, Sarkozy and his name have always been associated with the term.

The Google bomb merely emphasised the fact.
