The rumoured new Charlie Hebdo cover everyone is sharing? It's a fake
AN IMAGE PURPORTED to be the cover of next week’s issue of Charlie Hebdo is doing the rounds on social media – a stark black page with the text “Urgent recherche 6 dessinateurs” (“Urgently seeking six cartoonists”).
The cover is a fake – it’s the creation of Les Guignols de l’Info, a TV show that has been called the French equivalent of Spitting Image.
The cover was posted on the Les Guignols de l’Info Facebook page yesterday evening, with the caption:
More than a few people were duped by the Les Guignols ‘cover’:
Everyone is sharing the New Yorker’s wonderful cover tribute to Charlie Hebdo>
‘Any cartoon can offend’: Artist behind viral Charlie Hebdo response on the power of pictures>
