Q: What’s the lastest in French military technology ? A: The new French tank with five gears for reverse and one for forward in case they get attacked from behind.
Kinda like shooting fish in a barrel though is it not?
Hell I am a New Zealander by birth and still hold some residual grudges for an act of French Terrorism on NZ soil (yeah ok in a harbour - they bombed a ship). Not that support the people whose boat they blew up, but I object to their methods.
OK, what is with all of the damn French-bashing on the Internet? I’ve never heard anything remotely like it in real life, despite having known plenty of right-wing froot loops in my time. Are there huge numbers of closet Francophobes who only indulge in their proclivities while online, or do I just lead a much more sheltered life than I thought?
You’ve just been lucky - if you come to my office any given day, you’ll hear my co-worker, the self-appointed political aficionado, spewing all kinds of anti-France venom.
It does seem a like a fair few Americans were sitting around waiting for the French to do something even vaguely anti-american.
“At Last” they cry “Now we can break out our extremely poor, xenophobic jokes and display our pitiful knowledge of european History. And All in the name of the U.S.A.! GO USA! GO USA!”
