Perhaps inspired by Putin's buff body, other world leaders are taking off their shirts. But when France's president Nicholas Sarkozy's picture was published in Paris Match magazine, a rival publication noticed that his love handles were tactfully airbrushed away:
Speculation is rife that Mr Sarkozy used his powerful contacts in the French media to demand some serious airbrushing.
Paris Match is owned by a close friend, Arnaud Lagardere, whose other paper Le Journal du Dimanche recently dropped a story revealing that Mr Sarkozy's wife Cecilia had not voted for him in the election.

Reminds me that Weekly World News stopped printing, what a shame...
I'm just curious because it seems that this sort of thing is becoming easier to do and more sophisticated. (although it's been happening for a long time)
