The Electric Commentary

At least we can all agree on something...

From the Telegraph:

Europe unites in hatred of French

Language, history, cooking and support for rival football teams still divide Europe. But when everything else fails, one glue binds the continent together: hatred of the French.


Read the whole thing, it's pretty froggin' funny.

  • A while back (in 2004), a colleague and I designed a survey in which we asked Americans whether they generally trusted other countries and why they did or did not do so. In the responses to our open-ended question, France was mentioned more often than any nation other than Iraq. Moreover, the comments about France were overwhelming negative. One respondent simply said, "France--the snakes!"

    Thought you might get a kick out of that one.

  • OK, that's pretty funny.

    I blame Willy on the Simpsons for the Cheese-eating surrender-monkey quote.
