Picture: AFP
I don't know why this picture of Francois Hollande in a classroom is so funny, but it's made my day. The AFP agency in France tried to withdraw the photo, after it was accused of making the President look like 'a village idiot'. It tells us, I suppose, something about the sensitivity to power of portraiture and image.
