The trial of French rapper Monsieur R began today. Conservative politicians are charging him with spreading "violent and pornographic messages" to minors. They blame his album Politikment Incorrekt for contributing to last winter's student riots in Paris, during which 10,000 cars were set on fire and 3,000 kids were arrested. What really pissed them off was the video to the song FranSSe, in which naked chicks fondle themselves with the French flag while Monsieur R spits: "France is a bitch, don't forget to fuck her till she's exhausted, you have to treat her like a slut …VIDEO: Monsieur R - "FranSSe"Monsieur R continues: "The state can go fuck itself … Fucking cops, sons of whores … I piss on Napoleon and on General de Gaulle."
