I would translate it as "You mustn't make fun." As in "you're not allowed to make fun."

I think a better translation would be:
“ my a$$, you like my a$$?”
les fesses = a$$
As the French government now closing down 20 Frwnch embassies and repatriating staff and families as the French are targeted for death bc of cartoons in Charlie Hebdo.

Pretty much on target. Sounds like slang for “Don’t make fun of me.”
