    French protesters say, "No" to the New Year!

    French marchers say 'non' to 2007

    Demonstration against 2007 in Nantes
    The demonstrators took French restiveness to extremes
    Hundreds of protesters in France have rung in the New Year by holding a light-hearted march against it.

    Parodying the French readiness to say "non", the demonstrators in the western city of Nantes waved banners reading: "No to 2007" and "Now is better!"

    The marchers called on governments and the UN to stop time's "mad race" and declare a moratorium on the future.

    The protest was held in the rain and organisers joked that even the weather was against the New Year.

    The tension mounted as the minutes ticked away towards midnight - but the arrival of 2007 did nothing to dampen their enthusiasm.

    The protesters began to chant: "No to 2008!"

    I thought it was pretty good. They've got the same people in charge of their government over there and the same sort of lawlessness happening.

    Well, pretty funny anyways.
