The funny thing is, they're not even French, they're from the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium.

This adds a whole new problem with being male, we run the risk of eventually being replaced with freedom ticklers.

Well that's it: for tomorrow's lunch, I'm going to order french fries, a salad with french dressing, and I'm going to order it in french, from a french speaking person.

Then I'm going to go to the bathroom, and tell the management that they're running out of "Bob Ney" paper.

This is just stupid. I should note that French Fries are actually from Belgium, if I'm not mistaken...

How is this any more retarded than "homicide bombers?" We've been labouring under stupid NewSpeak for quite some time now.

This is exactly what the French want! We should keep the name! The French would rather see Julius Caesar leading a modernized Wermacht than another McDonalds!

I'm pretty sure they're going to boycott wine, because tehy associate it with the French.

"French wine" will become "Freedom wine." This is getting fun.

No, we should name all of our shitty American knockoff fast food after stuff the French esteem themselves for.

Except no one but Dubya and Fox News uses that term. This "freedom" fries crap is spreading! I swear the whole world's gone mad.

And French-Americans will now be known as Freedom-Americans.

And how would we call the French Canadian

Nah, we can do what we always do, just call 'em "Those damn Frogs".

Durandal · Post by **Durandal** » 2003-03-11 10:15pm

That raises an interesting question. What will we call frogs? "Freedoms"?

Think of it as correcting an old error. French fries aren't french, so the previous name was wrong. Enjoy freedom, everyone.
