Title: France Controversial Comic
Caption: People protest outside the Zenith arena in Nantes, France, after French comic Dieudonne MBala MBala's show at the venue was banned Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014 by Frances top administrative body. The decision by the Council of State in Paris overturned a Nantes court ruling hours earlier that had annulled the ban the city had imposed on the show by MBala MBala who is accused by some as being anti-semetic. The comic was convicted last fall for using the word "Shoananas," a mash-up of the Hebrew word for Holocaust and the French word for pineapple.(AP Photo/Michel Euler)
