In France, they had a satirical news show made with puppets representing public personalities called "Les Guignols" (Guignol being the name of a famous traditional puppet character, and commonly used to mean "a clown" or "a jackass").
US imperialism, whether it was secret services, the militaro industrial complex, Wall Street, etc... was always represented by a Sylvester Stalone puppet. In a famous skit from the show, "Monsieur Sylvestre" shared his vision of the world with a map he labelled . "Us", "fa*g*ts", "go*ks" and "g*lliwogs". That show was so based. Especially in the 2001-2003 period.
Since then, some billionaire bought the network and cancelled the show.
EDIT: found this skit in english with Monsieur Sylvestre and W. recording a charity song.
Yeah let’s talk about that guy here, many will not know about him.
You may know OCB papers. This paper business was created 4 generations ago by some guy in the family. After working in banking for some time, Vincent Bolloré took over the business and expanded it, starting to sell plastic, but also transports and logistics in Africa.
The group is now active in freight, shipping, energy distribution (petroleum and coal), palm oil plantations, real estate, banking, …
They own Vivendi, that is Universal Music (the music corp), Canal+ (the Guignols network), Editis (publishing company with many subsidiaries), Gameloft (video games and other shitty apps), Dailymotion (the one true French Youtube), other entertainment business like the famous concert venue L’Olympia, … He also has other TV networks, the bike sharing system in Paris, …
and Havas, advertising and PR company. They notably offered their services for presidential campaigns in Africa. You know, where he owns port concessions.
After being elected president in 2007, Sarkozy’s first reflex was to go celebrate victory on his yacht.
