Have a quick scroll down this French page to see the impressive coverage of the new French president of Facebook, Arash Derambarsh.

He could just as easily have been voted Top Vampire or Pirate, or whatever.
TechCrunch has the full story at French Press Falls For Major Facebook Prank, and comments:
