Today, Paris has been under siege by French taxi drivers who are violently protesting the latest upgrades to the Uber service, called UberPop. The service has been under fire for taking a large percentage of business away from the conventional taxi industry.

So, French taxi drivers are retaliating by setting cars on fire and holding Courtney Love hostage in her cab.

That’s right. Courtney Love expected be taken to her hotel to enjoy a lovely stay in France’s capital. Instead, she live-tweeted an aggressive attack from protesters.

Apparently the actual war in Baghdad is not as terrifying as this gooey substance that protestors threw at her window.

She questions the French legal system.

Don’t worry, she got away! And made some friends in the process.

But not before throwing shade on the French police, who did le nothing to help her and other victims of the protest. The French can be so je ne sais quoi sometimes.
