Charlie Hebdo

Charlie Hebdo is a punch in the face

Against people who refuse to think. Against people with no imagination. Against people who can’t take a joke.

Charlie Hebdo is a paper for people who are fed up. It hits hard, and gets right in your face. Charlie Hebdo is grotesque, because so is politics, and so is life.

It’s a paper of thinking people who need a good laugh. A laugh at everything absurd and preposterous – that is, pretty much everything. Charlie Hebdo has no need for God or Wall Street. It chuckles at people who whine that they need cars or cellphones to be happy. And it doesn’t believe in the afterlife, so it’s got nothing to lose.
