I wonder if Kaitlyn Hunt can seek asylum in France. Look which film won the Palme d'Or.

The movie Blue Is the Warmest Colour won the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The movie is about a 15-year-old girl who falls in love with an older woman. According to wikipedia, "At Cannes the film shocked some critics with its long[14] and graphic sex scenes, leading them to state that the film may require some editing before it is screened in cinemas." Yep. Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 and this salacious stuff have won the SAME award.

Meanwhile in the US, Kaitlyn Hunt is an 18-year-old who seduced a 14-year-old girl. No, she wasn't 17 going out with a 15 y/o. Maybe Hunt should go seek asylum in France if that nation embraces a movie like Blue Is the Warmest Colour and refused to extradite Roman Polanski if she wants her freedom back. She'd better have chosen to take French in high school if it was offered.
