In lieu of actual content, I thought I’d just regurgitate a comment and make a whole post out of it. (Funny, I was just at Donna’s<\/a> talking about wanting to do this.)<\/p>\n

Some dude named Orion<\/b> puts in a cameo at Emperor Misha’s joint<\/a> where he “fisks” a new French ad, tentatively titled: <\/p>\n

“Stop picking on us, or we shall get more nasal and snobby<\/a>“, or something like that.<\/p>\n

… starring none other than Woody Allen<\/b>; Americas favorite inbreeder since Jerry Lee Lewis.
\n
\nSo here is my comment at the ole Emperor’s Palace… why waste a good tidbit of comedy? And I thought the six people that visit me regularly should enjoy it too!<\/p>\n

\n

So this is about tourism and lost revenues? They’ve treated American tourists like shit for decades… waitaminnute, I thought only the WINNERS<\/u> get to rewrite the history books???<\/p>\n

“When you insult the French people, simply because they are French, then it’s a kind of racist campaign.” <\/i><\/p>\n

Do I need to break out a friggin’ dictionary to define “racism” here??? When did the French become a “race”? Did anthropologists open up a new sub-human genre called Homo-Eiffelupyouranus<\/i> or something?<\/p>\n

Picking on those little French pansies has been a FINE American tradition for hundreds of years. Personally I have been waiting for this whole Iraq ordeal to be over with so I can resume picking on these little nasal wimps for all the RIGHT reasons.<\/p>\n

And oh, Woody Allen wants to get in on the act?
\nLet me blow off the dust on my “Book O’ Roman Polanski” jokes. Stick with the classics, I say!<\/p>\n

EricBrooks.Com\u00ae – Where ridiculing the French isn’t really racism. We think of it as more along the lines of “Making fun of the handicapped”.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
