SATC 2 Backlash Hits France

It was only a matter of time before Sex and the City 2 hit France in a sort of perfect storm of privilege, and now this: Warner Bros. reportedly recruited a dozen French authors to speak at a Parisian café as part of a promotional event, but the company to which WB outsourced the promo "didn't mention the authors in media alerts, stuck them in a small, dark, back room, and didn't provide a microphone or turn down the music during the talk [...] and, worse, said nothing when the café made the writers pay for drinks." Sacre bleu! When even the French are going to war with you, that is trouble. [NYP]
