Will the "Zidane" replace the handshake?
















Doctors warn that the new trend in French handshakes called "The Zidane" is increasing the traffic in local hospitals.

"We are seeing an increase in broken ribs, concussions, and loss of memory following the world cup." , said Doctor Bagette.

It seems the French have embraced the new trend, and given up on the traditional handshake, the double sided non-contact cheek kiss, and even French kissing altogether.

In parks around Paris, young lovers are found unconcious after trying to "Zidane" at the same time, resulting in parks filled with the head-injured lovers.

We are already seeing the effects of all the concussions in linups at coffee shops. "The clients just stare at the cashier and forget what they wanted to order, causing huge linups.", said local coffee shop owner, Lex Presso.

"We are worried about the elderly, as their vision is not as sharp and often completely miss their mark and fall, breaking a hip.", commented Senior Oldman at a local retirement home.

On the positive side, sales of neck braces have increased!
