I thought I made clear, and I know I made clear in the IRC channel, that I don't hate French people.

I do dislike the decisions of their government, but that's a different issue.

I don't understand why everyone is so uptight about some light-hearted poking at their military. You can find it in almost every newspaper. And mind you that most nations in the world actually televise daily satire about America, and I've not once heard bitching about that.

It's just making fun. If people want to take it seriously, that's ridiculous, but it's their perogative.

I'll repeat. The love of my life was a French girl whom I lost because her father was ailing and she had to return to France. I never really got over her. One of my best friends here is a French student studying at the local college. We hang out all the time. Hate to shock you, but he told me about half of those jokes. Namely the Champs joke and the French fighter plane jokes.

Everyone just needs to pull the buttplugs out of their asses.
