Bare-breasted ‘Mariannes’ face off with Paris police in silent protest

Bare-breasted ‘Mariannes’ are much more effective protestors than those yellowjackets. I am ready to cave to their demands, whatever they are.

Larger baguettes? Cheaper black-and-white striped shirts? Two berets for the price of one? Smellier cheese? Take it. I concede.

Wait. I changed my mind. I just realized if I give in to their demands, they will no longer protest topless. Forget it, you commies. I’m doubling the cost of a mime license, and tripling the price of unfiltered Gauloises.
