France's ruling conservative party has come up with a novel way of trying to woo voters - by handing out condoms and flip-flops with a party logo.
UMP party activists have been touring some 40 beaches across the country to shore up support for the party leader, Nicolas Sarkozy.
The UMP says it wants to engage with groups that do not traditionally associate with the party.
I'm afraid to ask - which groups?
Now which groups traditionally lie on the beach?

- "You wanna know what's wrong with religion? Religion is supposed to be about people being nice to each other, but frankly I don't see a lot of that. You know what I do see is, I see, a lot of people using the good book to say that they're morally superior. I see people building TV stations to bilk grandma out of her pension checks, all in the name of God. How about all those God-fearing people who are killing other God-fearing people because they don't fear God the same way?" - Dr. John Becker
