Is Charlie Hebdo getting a lot of extra attention after the tragedy of the terrorist attack on their offices, or have they always gotten attention from their satire? We Americans have several satirical periodicals and sites that barely get a notice from anyone as far as public record shows. I'd love to hear a European viewpoint on this.
