The past weekend's pivotal elections in France and Greece will make some definite waves in Europe. On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart recapped the events and pondered a few lingering questions that just beg to be answered.

Socialist candidate Francois Hollande was elected president of France on Sunday. He defeated conservative incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy with 51 percent of the vote, following a bitter campaign that focused primary on the country's economic woes.

An ad reportedly released by the presidential campaign of Socialist Party candidate François Hollande features a rather odd soundtrack choice: Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Niggas in Paris."

Last week, French McDonald's franchises announced a new addition to their menus: the McBaguette sandwich, a Frankenstein's monster of culinary culture clash.

The director of the one of the world's top universities, the Institute of Political Studies in Paris (known popularly and in your French oral examens as Sciences Po), Richard Descoings, was found dead in a New York hotel room Tuesday afternoon. Police have opened an investigation into his death, because the circumstances surrounding it bear more than a passing resemblance to the opening scene of the Da Vinci code, which is to say, they are suspicious.

It's hard out here for a Dominique Strauss-Kahn. First he was accused of rape, then he was questioned about a prostitution ring, and now he's being charged for his involvement. Now, "aggravated pimping" is a hilarious term, but what does it mean legally? Allow CNN to explain.

Mohammed Merah, the 23 year-old Islamic radical who admitted to killing four men and three Jewish schoolchildren in Toulouse, France, was killed today when police raided his apartment there.

A gunman on a motorcycle shot and killed three students and a teacher at a Jewish school in the Toulouse region of France. The man is thought to be responsible for two previous attacks on minorities that have occurred within the past 10 days.

Fire broke out in the underground parking garage today at Place Vendôme, the famous Parisian square near the Ritz Hotel and Tuileries Gardens. According to Huffington Post and its French affiliate, "over 100 firemen and 25 trucks" are "on the scene."

French police hauled possibly rape-y French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn in for questioning today. At issue: DSK's alleged participation in an international prostitution ring that involved "organizing sex parties" in Paris, Brussels, and Washington. "Company executives used expense accounts to pay for" the parties, Reuters reports.

Voulez-vous deny that Ottoman Turks committed genocide against Armenians during World War I ce soir? Not for long.

Celebrity self-justification platform The Huffington Post is launching a spinoff in France called "Le Huffington Post," French for "Another Fucking Huffington Post." Welcome to Arianna's global cocktail party, French people. You only think you're invited.

Newt Gingrich is running yet another attack ad on Mitt Romney in South Carolina, this time simply throwing spaghetti at the wall: He's donated to Democrats, voted for a Democrat once, loves abortion, yadda yadda yadda. Also, Mitt Romney is John Kerry, in that they are both from Massachusetts, where the official language is French. Watch Mitt Romney speak French in 2002, like a fool.

If there's one thing I think that most of us can agree on, it's that the internet can never have too few images of children frolicking in the surf as a naked man lingers ominously in the background. Right? That's just a given. Apparently the memo had not swung around to the marketing team of La Redoute, however, which happens to be the most popular mail order company in France. They posted the above image to their website today, apparently unaware of the offending dong terrorizing thousands of parents just looking for a good deal on swim trunks for their kids.

In France, people are all very sensitive about things, and prefer to approach sensitive issues (all) by arguing sophisticated points of serious political philosophy, while making dismissive hand gestures and holding cigarettes. This is why the French are such a bunch of pussies who aren't even tough enough to be involved in several doomed wars of choice in the Muslim world. Le wimps! Amirite?

The convoluted explanations of defenders of French politician and accused rapist Dominique Strauss-Kahn have always centered around calling his accuser, on very slim evidence, a whore. But no, DSK explains in a new biography! She wasn't a whore—she was just a slut.

Last week, the editorial offices of French satire magazine Charlie Hebdo were firebombed after the release of an issue "guest edited" by Muhammed. ("100 lashes if you don't die of laughter!" said the cartoon Muhammed on the cover.)

What do presidents do when no one else can hear them? The same thing the rest of us do: complain about other people! Like on Monday, when President Obama and his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy were caught on microphone bitching about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Paris editorial offices of Charlie Hebdo, a French weekly satirical magazine along the lines of the Onion, were firebombed this morning after publication of an issue "guest edited" by the prophet Muhammed. Someone must not have gotten the joke.

AFP tells us that Italian director Romeo Castellucci's production of the play On the Concept of the Face, Regarding the Son of God features the face of Jesus "drizzled in excrement." The Guardian explains the poop on Jesus' face comes from "an excremental stream pouring from his right eye-socket." Sounds a bit like an extreme version of a Gallagher show!
