Nicolas Crapkozy and Caca Bruni

The people of Catalonia in Spain have great fun creating their Caganers, figurines of defecating world leaders, to be used in nativity scenes. Of course our Beloved Leader and his Prima Donna take prominent positions in the poopularity rankings: Find more turds in The Telegraph.
