Oh, whoops. It's 2AM here; I made a mistake. Leave out the part about meeting with Bush, and it should read right.

So post a damn picture, the topic'll die.

It was the last picture I posted. No-one got it after a couple of days so I told them the answer.

In all seriousness, if someone asked you "Hey Christopherr, who's the prime minister of France?" a week ago would you have been able to say "Francois Fillon! Come on, everybody knows that"? Because I don't think that the English-speaking media have given him any noteworthy degree of attention, all the Google hits about his appointment that I got when I entered his name as a search term were short articles on Dutch websites, except for a brief BBC profile that only a minor portion of their readers would have seen.

I remembered seeing him somewhere on the TV, so yes, I would have known. Even if you don't know your PMs, then you should have recognized him from news reports. He was mentioned with Sarkozy, I believe.

Ok. Who is this guy?

Guy Verhofstadt, that dirty Belgian. Après lui le deluge, considering that his sucessors are pretty awful at forming a new government.

Want to post a picture?

Oh, I guess Empanado's earlier picture will suffice, I thought that this picture was just for shits and giggles anyway (haven't been keeping track of who's supposed to post what).

I disgress. I believe this is the correct answer:

Okay then, I shall re-post the generic picture I found after typing "black dude pointing" at Google Image Search.

It must be some other black person!

I will not throw the "all black people look the same" card, but that looks exactly like Malcolm X with a beard. He's got the glasses and everything. Here's a pic for comparison:

And I must sincerely point out that it's a different black person with glasses.

HINT: If you described this guy as an African-American, you'd only be half right.

Nobody knows about [black person #1]? This is so racist! I'm outraged. I'm calling Johnny Cochrane on you people.

I don't think they do, no.

Can you put us out of our misery please? Unless it is actually a young Johnny Cochrane...

Okay, last hints:
African dude. Struggled for his country's independence and gave a speech that pissed off a king named Baldwin. Nation promptly collapsed in pretty messy civil war. Guy is imprisoned, executed and his body is dissolved in sulfuric acid. Eventually nation changes name and is governed by a man who goes by the name of "The all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance and inflexible will to win, goes from conquest to conquest, leaving fire in his wake". (Not a moniker, his actual name.)

C'mon, easy as pie.

Nelson Mandela.

I win.

Patrice Lumumba

Who is this man?

I've given up on my own thread.

That's Mitterrand, you can almost tell he's French just by looking at him. Anyway, I'm shocked at the lack of Dutch people in this topic. This injustice must be fixed.

Geert Wilders.

The dude who wanted to ban the Quran in the Netherlands.

Yeah, he's trying to get a short film about it broadcast on public television in January. Might spark a few good old-fashioned riots.

Gotta love those.

I have like 10 Netherlands-based channels on satellite. I know all and see all that goes down in your country, just thought I'd let you know that.... lol

Anyway.

Anyone?
