Online French news magazine l’Internaute invited its readers for a Chinese Portrait game. (In case you’re not familiar with a Chinese portrait: it’s an abstract depiction of a person, in the style “If I were an X, I would be a Y”.)

Here are some Chinese portraits of Nicolas Sarkozy (between brackets are the scores):

If he was a car he would be an SUV (26.4%)
If he was a super hero he would be the Terminator (30.5%)
If he was a meal he would be a Tête de veau (calf’s head) 22.5%)
If he was an animal he would be a Fox (30,7%)

And Segolene Royal’s Chinese portrait:

If she was a meal she would be Fish with steamed vegetables (26,8%)
If she was a plant she would be a Carnivorous plant (23,2%)
If she was an animal she would be a Snake (28,7%)
If she was a TV hero she would be one of Charlie’s Angels (21%)

I know, I know, this is silly. But there’s a time for everything, even for silliness…
