 Avis de Boycott des produits Américains !!!

 Voilà un message que je viens de recevoir. Pour une fois, je le fais

 suivre afin de faire réagir et réflechir sur le pouvoir du boycottage (ce que

la tête ne veut pas comprendre, le porte-monnaie le comprend très vite !)

 Pour ma part, j'utilise déjà cette arme depuis longtemps. Si au niveau

 individuel cette arme n'a d'autre portée que celle de l'éthique personnelle, au

 niveau national ou international, elle peut infléchir les décisions. Mais,

comme chacun voit midi à sa porte, je vous laisse le soin de choisir l'action

àprendre. Sur ce, bonne journée à toutes et tous et amicales salutations.

 Aux USA, beaucoup de restaurants Français sont vides, AIRBUS voit la

 plupart de ses contrats s'éloigner de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique. Les eaux

 minérales françaises ne se vendent plus, les fromages ont quasiment

 disparu des rayons, bref les USA boycottent les produits français et nous que

 faisons nous ? Et bien le midi nous allons chez mac Do, nous consommons

du coca sous toutes ces formes, nous allons chez ESSO remplir le carburant

de notre Ford, nous allons au cinéma voir de grand film ou le drapeau

 américain apparaît environ une dizaine de fois en à peine 60 min et où la fin est

 connue de tout le monde, oui oui c'est eux qui sauvent le monde.... Il

 serait peut être temps à nous Français et Européens de nous réveiller

et de boycotter les produits américains. C'est pourquoi à partir du samedi 1er

 Mars et durant une semaine complète (ET POURQUOI SEULEMENT 1 SEMAINE,

AUX STATES IL N'Y A PAS DE DATE BUTOIR) nous invitons tous ceux qui ont une

conscience, qui ne veulent pas se faire dicter leur culture, leur mode

de vie par les américains, à une semaine internationale de boycott des

 produits américains. C'est à vous de prendre vos responsabilités et de montrer au

 pouvoir public que le peuple sait faire autre chose que de défiler dans

la rue, il sait aussi passer a l'action. Tous ceux qui désirent soutenir

 cette semaine d'action sont priés de transmettre ce mail à un maximum de

monde, de l'imprimer et de le faxer à tout ceux qui n'ont pas Internet. Bref,

faites savoir votre point de vue si vous voulez que l'on vous respecte en tant

 qu'être humain.

The above e mail was received from a friend in Switzerland and presumably pertains to a French boycott of American products. Perhaps there is a FReeper who can translate. Perhaps we will learn that the email address  bloud@itu.int  needs FReeping.

I will translate:

"I hope the Germans invade us again. Those manly German officers are so much better in bed than our effeminate males."

Perhaps, but I did read the words "Ford" and "Esso" and they are American /corporations. I looked for Disney Land but missed it.

Maybe Disney in France is dead already and doesn't need further boycotting.

Subject: Fw: Opinion of Boycott of the American products!!!

Opinion of Boycott of the American products!!! Here is a message which I have just received. For once, I do it to follow in order to make react and reflect on the capacity of the boycotting (what the head does not want to include/understand, porte-monnaie includes/understands it very quickly!) For my part, I for a long time use already this weapon. If on the level individual this weapon has of another range only that of personal ethics, with national or international level, it can inflect the decisions. But, as each one sees midday with its door, I leave it to to you to choose the action àprendre. On this, good day with all and all and friendly greetings. In the USA, much of French restaurants are empty, AIRBUS sees majority of its contracts to move away on other side of the Atlantic. Water mineral Frenchwomen are not sold any more, the cheeses have almost disappeared from the rays, in short the USA boycott the French products and us that let us make? And well midday we go to mac Do, we consume Coke in all these forms, we to ESSO will fill the fuel from our Ford, we to the cinema will see large film or the flag American appears approximately ten time in hardly 60 min and where the end is known everyone, yes yes it is them which save the world.... It would be can be time with us French and Europeans to awake us and to boycott the American products. This is why as from Saturday 1st March and during one week supplements (AND WHY ONLY 1 WEEK, TO the STATES IT A NO CUT OFF DATE) we invite there all those which have one conscience, which does not want to be made dictate their culture, their mode of life by American, at one week international of boycott of American products. It is with you to take your responsabilities and to show with public authority that the people can make another thing to ravel in the street, it can also pass has the action. All those which wish to support this week of action are requested to transmit this mall to a maximum of world, to print it and to fax it with all those which do not have Internet. In short, let know your point of view if you want that one respects you in so much that human being.

"Water mineral Frenchwomen"

I'm assuming this is a Babelfish translation of "Evian", but, hey, with the French, you just never know.

Thanks for your collective efforts.

It would appear we are at war, at least there are some Frogs who seem to want war.

What will prevail...... the American Economy or the French Economy?

A human translation:

boycott notice of American products!!! Here is a message that i have just recieved. For once, I will forwarded so that you can react and reflect on the power of a boycott (that which the brain doesnt want to understand the wallet undersatnds very quickly! ) As for myself, I have used this weapon for a long time. If at an individual level this weapon has no more use than that of a person ethic at the national level or at the international level it can influence descisions. But as everyone sees things in their own way, I will leave to you the choice of what action to take. So, good day to all.

In the United States many French restaurants are empty AIRBUS has seen most of its trans-Atlantic contracts dissapearing. French mineral waters are no longer sold, cheeses have alomost dissapeared from the shelves, in breif the United States is boycotting French products, but what are we to do about it? Fine, so at midday we go to Mcdonalds we drink Coca Cola of all types we go to ESSO to fill the tanks of our Fords we go to the movie where the American flag appears about a dozen times in just 60 minutes and where at the end, we all know this flag saves the world...It is perhaps time for us French people and Europeans to wake up and start boycotting American products. That is why starting Saturday the first of March and durring a whole week (AND WHY ONLY ONE WEEK, IN THE STATES THEIR IS NO EXPIRATION DATE) we invite all those who have concious who do not want to be dictated a culture, or an American way of life to an international week of boycotting American products. It is up to you to take the responsiblity to show that we can do more than just protest in the streets, we can also pass to action all those who wish to uphold this week of action are requested to forward this mail throughout the world to write and to fax this to those who dont have the internet. In breif, let your point of view be known if you wish to be respected as a human being.

My french is a little rusty (non-existent, actually), but if the products, "Right Guard" "Zest" "Lever 2000" or "Speedstick" are on the list, isn't that redundant?

There is an e-mail address at the top of that message to which I sent this friendly greeting to just moments ago:

"f!ck you and your f!cking pu$sy country. If America is smart they'll direct the bomb plane towards Paris after level Bagdhad!"

Harsh?? Yes but effective...like the right guard, zest and female razor products...but like those products the french won't get it!
