The president of nothing

I can’t believe it. A 28-year-old french guy called Arash Derambarsh has been elected for President of Facebook by a non-official third party application. The story started when Derambarsh ran the application and started to invite his friends creating an official program for his campaign. When the elections were finished, Derambarsh received more than 9,000 votes and it converted him in the “first president of Facebook”. At the beginning, using this information Derambarsh got coverage with some French media. But the story raised up when it was covered by big TV channels and traditionnal media like TF1, Le Point, L’express, …
Derambarsh has become a star in France, being invited to talk about his presidency in some programs and gettings his own page in Wikipedia. We can check out his electoral program in FacebookPresident. He pledges to promote goodwill and tolerance among the three world monotheistic Faiths (Christian, Jewish and Muslim), to fight against illiteracy and analphabetism and to promote the French culture around the world.
