I thought my fellow freepers would like this. I was just on another forum where a guy in france posted some screengrabs from CNN. I'll attach his comments.

Apparently, alarmed by the riots, we have decided to move our towns.
Apparently Paris moved 150 km east.
Lyon moves form its previous situation aside the alps to south of Massif Central
Toulouse decided that being on the Altantic shore was no good (too close to the USA, i guess) and move east to become a italian alpine city.
The mayor of Stasbourg was more careful. he chose his town to stop being in France and moved it in southern Germany.
the guy at CNN must have spent some time in Rennes since apparently it's the only town roughly at the good place.
Granted, if you slapped down an outline of france and asked me to pin the tail on the city, I couldn't do any better, but then I'm not a proffesional newscaster.

Dude, that's CNN after all! Actually, merely displacing towns is an improvement for them... they've been known to displace whole countries on occasions! Look what they did to the Czech Republic...
Poor old Prague used to be a nice city, before CNN dropped Bern on it.
Self ping
Ping, bump, and bang...this is all a funny way to end the day!
LOL!!! Hilarious! And that goes for the women, too! Thanks for the ping, ConcreteBob!
I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain!
CNN doesnt hire smart people! ;-)
And that goes for the women, too!
Yep.
That IS funny.
If you marinate them in citrus juice, it tenderizes them and takes out much of the gameyness. /sark
The Strasbourg forces have invaded Munich, the Toulousian infantry has taken over land in both Switzerland and Austria and "France" is smack dab in the middle of Poland without the use of even one Stuka. Darn, how did I miss this?
I wonder what the Bordeauxski wines will be like?
The politically correct crowd and the Crappy News Network can't get political maps correct....but most of their viewers will never notice.
That's because those of us in the Vast Right-wing Conspiracy aren't using "their" maps. You know, they way it "should" be. These liberal elitist pukes make me sick.
LOL !!
I thank I was living in Metz, France. Now I live in Paris, France...
Merdum... I'm a pariser now ! Fluctuat nec mergitur...
Thanks a lot CNN !!! (but I'm not sure if I must enjoy myself...)
This is the worst map of France (and Europe) I've ever seen...
Rennes is Paris
Paris is Metz
Strasbourg is in Germany or in Czech republic
Lyons moved to Clermont-Ferrand
Cannes slipped to Perpignan
and.... Toulouse is in Switzerland (Zurich ?) !!!
What a mess !
I would not be too concerned about thi. The Muslims will change the names of all of these cities and towns in due course.
You got that right. There's a sobering thought...all the names will be changed in our lifetimes.
LMAO, Mime. I'll be going to Krakow and Prague soon. Does this mean that I'll still be in Freakin' France?
I wonder what the Bordeauxski wines will be like?
MUCH improved. ;-)
Of course we are talking about a bunch of yahoos who think that there's nothing west of the Alleghenies but Injuns, boar hogs and Corn Hole, and that there's some dude in the South named Jack Daniels or something.
May a pigeon drop a collective deuce on the heads of the DUmmies of CNN.
They DO know a thing or two about (the slang of) pigeons, doncha know. :-)
