"Le tribunal de grande instance de Paris a estimé mercredi que le héros créé par les studios Disney n'est pas inspiré du personnage de «Pierrot le poisson clown» comme le prétendait une société d'édition française."(sic)

Fort les mecs!

With the reins in one hand and a whip in the other, the purple-jerseyed rider prodded a camel around the track. But this jockey wasn't the usual underfed boy. The jockey was a robot.
Under the watchful eyes of his Swiss developer and Qatari owners, the robot - dubbed Kamel - rode a racing camel for 2.7km, reaching speeds of 40.23kmph in a non-competitive trial run.
By 2007, rulers of this country say all camel racers will be mechanical.
The developer, Alexandre Colot of the Swiss robotics firm K-Team, wasn't as impressed as the rest of the crowd.
"I wasn't surprised," Colot said, as he walked toward the camel to unstrap Kamel and put him in a box for the night. "I've seen him do that before, so to me, it's not something strange."
Camel racing has deep roots in the traditions of Gulf Arabs and their survival in this barren and once poor and isolated land. Races are gruelling contests of endurance and take place on oval courses as long as 10km. Betting is banned but lucrative purses are put forward by corporate or tribal sponsors.
Spurring the robots' development has been vehement condemnation from human rights groups of the sport's regular jockeys. Activists say there are about 40,000 boy jockeys, some as young as 4, who are either bought from their parents or kidnapped from their home countries and taken to the Gulf to ride. The boys live in bleak conditions and are underfed before races to keep their weight down.
