Oh, please.

Tokyo Governor Sued for Insulting French (the language, that is):

TOKYO - A group of teachers and translators in Japan on Wednesday sued Tokyo's outspoken nationalist governor for allegedly calling French a 'failed international language,' a news report said.

Twenty-one people filed the lawsuit at the Tokyo District Court, demanding that Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara pay a total of 10.5 million yen ($94,600) compensation for insulting the French language in remarks last October, national broadcaster NHK said.

The good news is, all this guy has to do is hire a German lawyer, and he's gravy.
