Why does my hotmail certificate link to the French National Police?

Sorry for the wierd post, but I went to check my hotmail and Firefox came up with a "Certificate warning" box. While it looked like i was going to hotmail via "secure.footprint", The certificate was actually linked to "gendarme.info." I looked at the detail and the organization which issued the cert showed "Gendarme Nationale"... So.. Have the frogs taken over hotmail security? Are cheese eating surrender monkeys hacking me? Or is this just your general web-based wierdness?

It's not a mistake.

The french have taken over your computer.

For now on, your computer will restart randomly unless you pour only the best French wine in the hard drive.

Oh yeah... one more thing... croissants... not cd's...

If Microsoft is actually using the French Police for security that would explain a number of things...

Ze, must be mistaken. We are only interested in snail mail with the snails broiled in butter with lots of garlic with a touch of lemon and fine French Wine.

It's bound to be Bush's fault.

I'm offended!
I only view 100% American naked ladies.

I checked on my old Apple and I don't get this warning when I goto hotmail, so maybe it's just some wierdness.

I got this too. I logged in anyway. I ran a virus scan and all appears okay. However, it should be stated that I use a product called "Fingers Crossed Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware Security Suite 4.1" /sarc

Well, at least you'd miss out on the "eau du fromage" ... it could be worse.
