In all honesty I really don't see any french bashing just humor based on outdated stereotypes, which is humorous in itself.

Not in the article. I love ethnic and national jokes, and put-downs of all types. I just thought that the jokes that followed were just the opposite of what the thread was about in the first place.

But that's just me.

Can't we all just move on....there's a bus due I need to jump under it:timeout:

As Brits we drive to work in our German cars
spend our day dealing with Chinese companies
we come home and sit on our Swedish sofas
to watch American tv shows
on our Japanese tv
we eat our French food
and drink Australian beer
and finish with a desert of Belgium chocolate
and when we are tired we check the time on our Swiss watches
and we dream of holidays on a Spanish beach

and all this from a people who hate foreigners.

I guess we really are just Brit-ish

Many years ago there was a commercial from a domestic muffler-replacement chain that got a laugh:

"I believe in buying American! That's why I take my Datsun to Aamco!"
