Michel Farinet  Michel Farinet (born 11 November 1937) is a French artist of electronic music. Born in Picardy (France), Farinet has become a popular underground artist who publishes his songs on the Internet. On 23 February 2008, French president Nicolas Sarkozy visited the International Agricultural Show in Paris and insulted a visitor who denied shaking his hand, saying "" (Then get lost, you poor jerk!). According to the French newspaper "Le Courrier Picard", Michel Farinet was that visitor. Although Michel Farinet publicly claimed being wrongly accused, Internet users pointed out a remarkable resemblance. Furthermore, the fact that having published a politically motivated book regarding Sarkozy prior to the incident is supposed to make him suspicious as well. Michel Farinet became famous on the French internet radio Bide & Musique. Therefore, he dedicated two songs to its members : "Perce-Neige la fille sauvage" and "Doudoucoincoin le canard bleu".
