Jean Sarkozy: Is nepotism OK when you're this good looking?

Ooh a hot blond man is stirring up quite a storm in France.

Ministers from Sarkozy's political party in the country have defended their decision to support the President's 23-year-old son’s bid for a big, responsible, senior job, despite him not yet being out of law school.

Sorbonne student, and blond Adonis, Jean has his dreamy eyes on being chairman of EPAD - the agency responsible for the running and development of Paris’ huge financial district La Defense.

But his bid has angered some people in France who see this as a blatant case of nepotism. One critic launched an online petition against the nomination, which had 8 thousand names by Monday night.

In this age of high unemployment particularly amongst the young, does this just feel like a kick in the teeth? Or has he as much right to bid for this role as anyone?
