A way to keep voodoo dolls on the shelves!

French President Nicolas Sarkozy threatened to sue the company that made voodoo dolls with his image if they didn't withdraw them from the shops. Sarkozy will probably win in court but there is a way for the company to still sell the dolls. Partner with another company and sell the doll and the person's image on the doll as two separate things. It will then be up to the customer to put Sarkozy's image on the faceless voodoo doll. The shops will make more money by selling the parts separate and no one will be able to sue the customers. You can't sue a company for libel or invasion of privacy for selling a 'faceless' doll. Similarly, you can't sue another company for innocent-looking faces customers can apply anywhere. Welcome to the world of voodoo doll production! :)
