FRENCH President Nicolas Sarkozy is to have pioneering stretch surgery in a bid to make him taller.

The 5ft 5ins leader has contacted a leading Swiss laboratory because he has become so paranoid about his frame.

Doctors reckon they will be able to add an amazing FIVE INCHES to his height in just over a year.

When surgery is completed he will be an inch taller than his stunning ex-model wife Carla Bruni.

Short

Sarkozy, 53, was ridiculed on last week’s state visit to Britain for being so short.

Procedure ... how it works

He had elevated heels in his shoes while wife Carla, 40, wore a flat pair of pumps.

The method, Stature Augmentation Treatment, was developed on guinea pigs by Israeli academic Professor Ura Schmuck.

He said: “SAT replicates the growth the human body goes through from birth to adolescence.

“The patient is stretched on a traction bed for several hours and calcium supplements are injected in the bone shafts near the joints.

“The bones are tricked into thinking they are growing again.” Last night French government spokesman Luc Biggér admitted: “He wants to add five inches to his height.

“He read in a science journal about a short man who is now over 6ft.”

He said the President would have a series of ops at the Poisson D’Avril Medical Centre in Geneva over the next year.

Mr Sarkozy would not comment last night.

So it's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life. Well I guess I have to take it as a joke because it's April's Fool.
And 'Poisson D’Avril Medical Centre' basically means 'April's Fool Medical Centre' in French.
The Sun is just stupid.

Why would they post an April Fools joke on a day which is not April Fools day?

This one is A LOT more stupid than anything else I've seen them publish. A height-increasing operation? Who the hell would believe that?

I hate The Sun as much as you do, but even I can acknowledge it doesn't mean they're "stupid" for printing that. A joke's a joke, so I see no problem.

Nobody basically. This one is as stupid as most of their articles.
But that 'height-increasing operation' exists anyway.

At least, I shouldn't be surprised if they write serious articles but when you get used to read that kind of things most of the time...

And of course I took it as a joke, I even said it on my original post so it's fine. But The Sun is still kinda stupid lol
