The signature block says it all.
Il n'y a pas d'honte être français. Il y a seulement l'honte dans rester de français.

"France and chicken, somehow it just goes together."
The best oneliner I've heard lately.

Good thing they pulled that ad. Napoleon was not French. He was Corsican!

"I think (French bashing) is worse now than it was two years ago because, although it's not as relentless as it was, it has become a lot more accepted and part of the landscape." We have a long, long way to go to catch up to French intellectuals in terms of bashing anyone. So This Frenchman informs me in a brilliant book which I'd recommend to anyone who wants to understand just how bad it is there and just why this sort of story is so very silly.

Shoot, that ad made me buy a few of those cordon blue sandwhiches. Everytime I go in, I would laugh so hard at the ad that the only thing I could get out was chicken cordon blue, or just point to the ad. It was ingenious.

Actually, Denis, most Americans love and admire the French. Take me, for example. The relentless French bashing is a combination of horror, at French denial that threatens the very existence of
La Belle France, and the desire to shake the French into waking up in time to save themselves.
The present state of denial and hubris in France is shocking, dangerous, and horrifying.
Those who love France are screaming at the top of their lungs: "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"
Unfortunately, we are like a Greek chorus, warning those who have doomed themselves to inevitable tragedy.
The bashing is a wake-up call that is looooooooooooooooooooooooong overdue.
