The first round of the 2007 presidential election in France has resulted in an unprecedentedly high turnout of the same headline in newspapers throughout the English speaking world. Philippe Duret, Le Monde's correspondent for cliche and ennui, said, "I am frankly disgusted and bored with the lack of imagination shown by these sub-editors.
