Oh please...

Here's a good scam: kill one of your classmates, and then claim that you were inspired by a trilogy of mediocre thrillers. Apparently, this transparent ploy is working so well in France that this kid has successfully redirected the responsibility away from himself and onto the filmmakers. Admittedly, only one politician has bitten, but still...well done there, fella. One is forced to wonder if the politico would have been so quick to buy the story at face value and advocate a boycott if the films in question had been French (or at least, not American).
