« L’islam est moche et le Ramadan stupide », selon les Femen

C’est ce qu’on appelle faire le buzz. Sur Twitter, Inna Shevchenko, la fondatrice des Femen, s’en est violemment prise à la religion musulmane et au Ramadan. Ce qui a eu le don de provoquer la colère des internautes musulmans. Sur son compte tweeter datant du 9 juillet, on pouvait lire : « Qu’est-ce qui peut être plus stupide que le Ramadan ? Qu’est-ce qui est plus moche que cette religion ? » Selon les Femen, ce tweet n’est pas une attaque contre les musulmans. Un musulman est pourtant un adepte de l’islam. En attaquant cette religion et l’un de ses piliers, les Femen >>>

"Lick Femen’s Ass"

"Jetzt müssen alle Homophoben, Extremisten, Faschisten meinen Arsch lecken, wenn sie einen Brief verschicken wollen". Wer hätte gedacht, dass Briefmarken in unseren Tagen großes Kino machen? Natürlich in Frankreich. Dort gibt es eine National-Ikone namens Marianne. Als Büste, Statue oder auf Bildern ist sie in Rathäusern, auf öffentlichen Plätzen und eben auch auf Briefmarken zu sehen. Ihr Gesicht wird alle paar Jahre ausgetauscht. Zum diesjährigen Nationalfeiertag, dem 14.Juli, enthüllte Staatschef Hollande das neue Konterfei von Marianne (vgl. dazu die alte Briefmarke). Wie der >>>

FRANCIA/ L immagine di Marianne sui nuovi francobolli è della …

Avete presente il movimento femminista nato in Ucraina, quello composto da ragazze che a seno nudo appaiono e scompaiono in ogni posto al mondo, dal Vaticano agli incontri con i grandi leader mondiali? Sono le Femen, e la loro leader e fondatrice si chiama Inna Schevchenko, ucraina in quanto il movimento femminista è nato proprio in Ucraina. Da adesso la sua immagine fa bella figura sui nuovi francobolli francesi, incarnando con il suo volto il figura di Marianna, simbolo stesso della rivoluzione francese e dunque del paese. In passato erano stati altre donne, personaggi dello spettacolo come >>>

PARIS (AP) - The new face of France - or at least the official postage stamp for the President Francois Hollande era - is modeled after a Ukrainian woman who takes her top off to defend feminist causes.Not everyone thinks that's appropriate, and some are calling for a boycott.Hollande on Sunday unveiled the new stamp, meant to represent Marianne, a symbol of France since the revolution and French youth. Afterward, artist Olivier Ciappa said the image was modeled largely after Inna Shevchenko, an activist with the group Femen who received political asylum in France.Hollande's office would not >>>

Relletje rond Franse postzegel

Femen staat bekend om haar opzienbarende topless protestacties. De Oekraïense Sjevtsjenko woont tegenwoordig in Frankrijk. Ook Marianne wordt overigens niet zelden met ontblote borst of borsten voorgesteld.

Niet iedereen is van de nieuwe zegel gediend. De kleine, conservatieve Christendemocratische Partij heeft opgeroepen tot een boycot van het frankeermiddel.

Femen: Inna Shevchenko-Marianne su francobollo, marketing pro …

Proprio su queste pagine si scriveva che il Gran Capo Femen Inna Shevchenko non ha il romanticismo della celebre Marianne francese del quadro di Delacroix: il creatore dell’ultimo francobollo transalpino, Olivier Ciappa, è stato invece di tutt’altro avviso. La Marianna postale svelata dal Presidente François Hollande in occasione della festa del 14 luglio, secondo il disegnatore, “E’ un miscuglio di molte donne ma soprattutto è Inna Shevchenko, fondatrice di Femen". Al di là della discutibile somiglianza tra la femminista furiosa e la donna raffigurata nel francobollo, l’omaggio >>>

France: Of postage stamps and nudism

“FEMEN is on French stamp. Now all homophobes, extremists, fascists will have to lick my ass when they want to send a letter.” Those words in an Agence France-Presse article on The Local site (offering France’s news in English) gave me my morning chuckle today. They were tweeted by Inna Shevchenko, the leader of the French arm of Femen, “a feminist group known for its topless protests against sexual exploitation of women, sexism and religious institutions.” The 23-year-old, a Ukrainian who has been granted political asylum in France, finds herself at the centre of controversy >>>
