actually some of the anti-liseuse stances in this thread and elsewhere *are* a bit reminiscent of the Académie's attempts to prevent people from using words they don't approve of. but, 1. the Académie can say what they want, everyone still says "weekend" and "parking" in french (and at this point i'm pretty sure they've given up on that anyway), and 2. my impression is that the foreign press has tended to greatly exagerrate their reports of the Académie's actions / influence.
