French fight back! Tired of ads?

quote:

http://edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/e...reut/index.html

U.S. citizens have turned on French fries and toast to vent their frustration at France's anti-war stance on Iraq. Now the French have joined in the food war -- with pretzels.


heh I'd love to see a food fight with 300m on one side and 60m on the other, one hell of a rumble

heh we're a very tolerant people, for example the French have been mortal enemies for centuries yet we refrained from doing any more than calling them Frogs & making V-signs at them

I'm sure the French govt. tho might adopt it for sheer bloody mindedness

My French housemate has spent most of the day flicking V-signs at me because I'm the only person he knows who's in favour of a war in Iraq.

So I just remind myself; he's French, and I'm not.

I might give up french toast and french fries. I'd even give up french bread and french dressing, but if they make me give up french kissing there will be hell to pay.

Yeah, because a right-wing w*nker is just what we France needs right now. Chirac may be a ****, but he's better than Le Pen.

It's a form of swearing when you hold fingers up at someone with your palm facing you, if you see what I mean.

It supposedly hearkens back the the English longbowmen who made the flower of French chivalry their *****es over and over again. Two fingers to pull back a bowstring.

The French supposedly cut the fingers off of captured archers.

"French fight back!"

The French do what now?


Now that the requisite French joke is out of the way, a more serious question--

Are we going to rename the French language to Freedomese?

American Cheese, as it clearly states on the label, is "Processed Cheese Food."












Whatever the hell that means.
