(NewsCore) - As far as management problems go it's become the stickiest labour issue of the French summer. The latest creation, a huge six storey representation of Asterix and Obelix, appeared on the windows offices of Societe Generale, the bank, in La Defense business district west of Paris last week. Fifty employees stuck 9,000 notes of eight different colors on the windows to create what is being touted as the greatest example of Post-It art ever, The (London) Times reported. The production was a response to a design on the windows of GdF-Suez, the energy giant, in the building opposite. This involved 3,500 notes to represent Tintin and the rocket he used in the comic book "Destination Moon." "The difficult thing was not so much to stick the Post-Its to the windows as to get everyone to agree on the project and then to design the matrix on a computer," said one of the Gdf-Suez artistes. He spoke to The (London) Times using his nickname, Fanfan, out of fear that managers would take disciplinary action against him if they discovered his true identity. "The atmosphere is quite hostile and our bosses would probably like us to stop, although at the same time they are reluctant to order us to take the works down."
Is France serious? This is some kind of practical joke, right? Like self depreciating humor, just making fun of themselves for always being pussies, pretending to be unable to stop the daring and dangerous members of this post-it note war?
Like this guy speaking to the London Times using a nickname out of fear...umm, who cares if you don't know his name. The guy just organized stories tall murals of Nintendo characters, using only post-it notes...I'm pretty sure someone had to see this going down, its not exactly something you can just sneak in on an abandoned floor during your lunch break...shit must have taken hours with countless helpers. You just can't be that covert carrying around hundreds of thousands of post-it pads, there's just no other reason you'd need to be in possession of all those notes.
