He`s so fucked-up he included Royal Canadian,dipshit can`t differenciate France and Canada.

"Except for ending Slavery, Fascism, Nazism & Communism
War has never solved anything"

I love it.

Accuracy is hard to get when your so blinded by hatered. Personally i laughed my ass off.

That "Surrendering" motivational poster is top notch. That's something I'd like to buy, if they made it.

The jokes were pretty funny, but I don't understand why we need to boycott everything French.

I found this funny:

Q: How many Frenchmen would it take to defend Paris?
A: Nobody knows, it's never been tried.

And Durran, if you ever find that poster, tell me, 'cause I'm buying it too, lol.

I did anyway before i'd even read the site. I can live with out over priced French rubbish if they feel they can set fire to British beef shipments.

Except for those little things in 841, 1871, and 1914; when the French conducted some of history's most heroic defenses. The anti-French canard of saying that they've always been militarily incompetent and cowardly kills me. For anyone who wants to put forth that idea, I have only one word: Verdun.

It was a joke...

It's a stupid joke. People turn a hatred of the French government against the French military, and it gets annoying after a while.

Nathan F wrote:It was a joke...

Perhaps it's strange for me to be offended at a joke that mocked hundreds of thousands of men who died for their country. If you've got any killer jokes about Gallipoli or Cold Harbor I'd love to hear them.

EDIT:
I just have a generally low opinion about the whole anti-French sentiment. I like to bash them, just as most people enjoy bashing other countries. (Brits like to give the USA a good whack, Aussies like to mock the Brits, etc. etc.) But it's really got out of hand lately. Suddenly, because the French weren't big fans of our invading Iraq, everybody hates them with a special ferocity. Freedom fries, boycotting French wines and cheeses, and cancelling trips to the country are all silly and stupid. I suppose we're going to send the statue of liberty back and forget about the French soldiers and sailors who helped win Yorktown for Washington.

We have to remember while a good majority of French dropped their pants asking "Please fuck us in the ass Mr German" the rest fought to free their country.

No it doesn't. It's a joke with no end to it's hilarity. So foreigners can poke fun at the U.S. alllllllllllllllllllllll day long, making gross generalizations about the WHOLE population of the U.S. (things i've heard on PalTalk and other places: The U.S. are all criminals, we all carry guns, we hate even each other, we are all rich, fat, lazy, and uneducated. We are all anti-muslim) But we can't poke fun at the french? Lighten up.

( I know we don't JUST poke fun at the french, but for argument's sake... French jokes are popular right now. Go with it! )

Or don't. your choice.

Freedom fries, boycotting French wines and cheeses, and cancelling trips to the country are all silly and stupid.

French fries aren't french
See?

What made the business seem all the more more ridiculous to critics was that french fries aren't even French in origin -- they come from Belgium. Heck, we don't even capitalize the "f" anymore. 1

French wines, american wines, Aussie wines (Aussie wines have cool bottles) In the end it comes down to alcohol content. Wine sucks.

French cheese isn't any different than other cheeses, just more expensive. Cheese sucks anyway.

We cancel trips to France because their women don't shave their pits, man, come on! Everyone knows that! And they don't bathe regularly. and the food sucks. And the city smells, and i've never once met a person who LIKED taking a trip to Paris! (I've known 3 people who went to Paris, so tht's hardly an accurate cross-section, but it's MY fucking cross section)


Now, Which of you can figure out where the jokes and gross generalizations are in there. how many of you found yourself with a smirk, or reminded of something funny you saw on letterman/leno/etc.? how many of you actually thought my little anecdote was genuinely funny?

Okay, maybe not many of you, but it's all in fun. In a few hundred years, nobody will remember the rediculous renaming of french fries to freedom fries. I certainly could give a fuck less, I just know what makes me laugh.


/editorial mode off.

I spent more time looking at the chick holding the protest poster.

I quite like Paris actually, the food is fantastic (I have yet to go to a poor French restaurant, hell, even the McDonalds taste better over there...), my cousins are french, and last time I checked, their personal hygiene was not in question, I couldnt tell you whether they shave under their armpits or not, and I never noticed Paris to have any particular odour.

Just thought I'd bring some editorial balance to your editorial mode...

I, as with most people, already knew that frenching was merely a style of cooking and not a reference to the country itself. I was using it as an example.

So you drink only in order to get drunk? When I drink, which is seldom, I do so socially and I prefer something which has a nice bouquet and doesn't leave a sour taste in the mouth. Wine fits the bill.

Anyone who takes a trip to a big city like Paris expecting it to be really fun is in for a disappointment. Big cities suck. Go to the Riviera or Normandy if you want to have a good time.

You're underestimating how thorough historical record is. People in 2303 will be able to pick up their datapad or whatever the fuck they'll be using and read about how stupid we were.

I know, I was just lightening things up a bit

Pablo Sanchez wrote:So you drink only in order to get drunk?

No, I drink good things. Margaritas, White Russians, blowjobs, etc (Yes, it's a drink, yes, it's good. No, I'm not gay. As I stated, I simply think wine sucks. It sucks so hard, in fact, that it's only redeeming quality is the fact that after 3 or 4 glasses, you don't care. (WHY would one suffer through three or four glasses if one thought it sucked so bad? Example: On a date with a hot chick. Drink wine to...errm..show her you're sophisicated {God this wine sucks! But....i got a buzz on....} inhibitions start to go and...*Poof!* suddenly wine is good.)

Agreed! The Riviera Looks AWESOME! And Normandy? Well, that looks just Jim-cracking Dandy as well!

Nah. The point is, who is going to go to Google3000.com or Yahoomillenia.gal and type a search for "Dumbasses who renamed and boycotted frnch shit." I dunno...there's alooooooot of things in history that SHOULD be significant, but are effectively forgotten. (Ref. Archimedes "The Method" Just profiled on Nova the other night! )


Edit:
Actually. Normandy looks like it would suck. I retract my remark altogether.

I'm no wine snob, but my father tells me that some of the French wines are still unmatched by any others he's found.

French cheese isn't any different than other cheeses, just more expensive. Cheese sucks anyway.

I beg to differ, but French Brie is a cheese without a competitor for flavor. I do like cheese quite a bit, and I can definitely say that for some types, French cheese is better.

We cancel trips to France because their women don't shave their pits, man, come on! Everyone knows that!

The two French women I know both do.

And they don't bathe regularly.

Sophie, Madeline, and Sophie's brother (I can't remember his name ) all do. Of course, two are college students over here, but Madeline's old French (survived the German Occupation and all that)

and the food sucks.

WHAT?!? Oh, man, you must be a dianoga or something to not appreciate some of the French stuff. They've got some of the best sweets.

And the city smells, and i've never once met a person who LIKED taking a trip to Paris! (I've known 3 people who went to Paris, so tht's hardly an accurate cross-section, but it's MY fucking cross section)

OK, that I can't argue with. Two of the three native French people I know dislike Paris (and all three lived there). I would like to visit it just to be able to see some things, but I definitely wouldn't want to live there.

Okay, maybe not many of you, but it's all in fun. In a few hundred years, nobody will remember the rediculous renaming of french fries to freedom fries. I certainly could give a fuck less, I just know what makes me laugh.

OK, as long as you're joking around... . And I think you're right that nobody will remember the Senatorial stupidity.

I'm sorry i started this. I posted a link to a site a friend sent me. I thought we'd have a few laughs at it. I appologise to the board for starting this shit.

A website mocking France and not a single mention of the Simca 1100??

The United States couldn't even stop Pancho Villa....

What? Did we go to war with Russia and somehow I missed it? Or was it with China? How'd I manage to miss that? I've really got to start paying more attention to current events.

I love it. :lol:

Just because it's an often-used course of action doesn't make it the best one. It just means that the other ones would require some actual thought.
