No wonder SUVs are so angry!

It's FRENCH suv owners - why should we expect anything less than total surrender?

Paris is a medieval city with streets made for horses to pass. You'd have to be out of your mind to want to drive an SUV in such a place.

We can't accept that in our fine democracy. People have died for the freedom we have today." Except the freedom to own an SUV it seems.

Air doesn't cost anything.Then I guess he doesn't mind if an SUV owner decides to empty the contents of his skull.

Arianna Huffington both condemns and is chauffered in SUVs. Here she is caught in a Chevy Suburban after giving a keynote address to the Sierra Club in San Francisco.

Paris is well-known for it's broad boulevards and the highways that encircle the city.
There are certain neighborhoods which reflect a medieval layout, but about 85% of the city is quite drivable in a Jeep Cherokee.

What is that leaking out of the bottom of that Hummer? It seems to be of a metallic nature.

It looks like it's leaking out of the car. My guess, anti-freeze

On a serious note about the picture:
What was the disgruntled soldier in Oregon so upset about that he drove a Hummer over a car? Do you have the story behind it? It must be a good one.

Sorry. It was a bad joke. I will be discussing this with my writers. I was talking about the green car itself...you know...leaking out of the bottom....see the green car is under the....nevermind. It was stupid.

"Deflated" is a self-deprecating name that also means "coward" in French. So Les Dégonflés is an appropriate name for all French.

Funny. I just recently got an elderly WWII vet I know to start sharing some of his war stories.,p>He said one of the most amazing things he'd ever witnessed was paris in the spring of '45. All the French girls used bicycles as their main mode of transportation, and women's underwear was in very short supply.
So he and his fellow GIs would often hang out at cafes and watch the French girls cycle by in their skirts without underwear, sitting on bicycle seats that they had draped with a handkerchief.
One of the many surreal details of life during The Big One.

In Mel Brooks film Silent Movie there is only one spoken line, delivered by Marcel Marceau.
