PORN FILM MADE AT FIRST WORLD WAR MEMORIAL
Pornography Has Become The Latest Threat To Graves And Memorials
On The First World War Battlefields Of Northern France.
PARIS July 29, 2008 (Telegraph) - While common acts of desecration have in the past included vandalism and graffiti, indecent photographs and videos are increasingly being shot around the magnificent structures built during the post-war years to remember the fallen.The latest incident saw a French couple given a four-month suspended prison sentence for making a pornographic video at the Vimy Ridge memorial near Arras.
After being found guilty of exhibitionism, they were fined £400 each and ordered to pay a
symbolic one euro (80 pence)
in damages to Canada, which lost 60,000 men in the Great War.
At Vimy Ridge 3,598 Canadians were killed and 10,602 wounded. [A quick calculation.]
- 80 pence x French SYMBOLIC multiplier = Ample compensation to Canada. And a little something left over for British desecrations.
Naturally, France pockets the £800 in fines for the bother of dispensing her justice.
VIMY RIDGE MEMORIAL
Added Attraction
Despite the courageous deeds and sacrifice honoured by the Vimy Memorial, the couple are believed to have stripped naked and performed sex acts beside the soaring stone structure.They then posted the video on a website, invited people to pay to watch it.
Their punishment came just six months after another couple were fined for taking nude photographs of themselves in the same place.
... Police who investigated the case said similar incidents were regularly reported at other memorial and military graveyards.

Val apparently thinks this nonsense and war grave desecrations are one and the same thing. In this he appears to track with the opinion of French justice. This would explain why war grave desecrations have become something of a national recreation -- the clowning French served by French clown justice.
Too bad for the misfortunates who died for France.

Creeps, even murderers, getting away with a slap on the wrist of course don't exist within the American justice system. Another cheap shot, bravo.
