The French continue to surprise in their capacity to concentrate on the petty and self-destruct in the process.

Petty. Very eloquent Ivan.

Thank God there are not IMPORTANT problems in the world. Leaves the frogs to concentrate on the ridiculous.

I suppose that they have to concentrate on petty things though. It's all they can handle any more.

Godspeed

This is weird. The Fronnch saying that an ad for wine is too sexy? It doesn't make sense. Pepe Le Pew would be ashamed.

They would have a coronary with the Overstock.com ads.

Here's a link to a fan page for Sabine Ehrenfeld, the Overstock woman.

For a country where female nudity in everyday advertising occurs I find this absurd. I guess that is France these days.

My wife 's college roommate has lived in France with her husband for almost 25 years. Did you know that the names which parents select for their newborn babies must get government approval? France may be viewed by most people as simply a laughingstock or a sick joke, but what they actually have there is a very unfunny socialist tyranny.

This is bullshit. If the parents call the children a stupid name like, "Peripheric", which means the ring round around a city, they will not be allowed to by the government.

Yes, that's been in force since the days of Napoleon.

They're simply full of it.

I'm glad she's wearing a long sleeve top. Hairy pits are a turn off.
