IN A desperate attempt to show Americans that France has no lingering ill-feeling towards the United States,the main Paris tourist bureau on the Champs Elysées will be decked out in the stars and stripes this Friday.

What a bunch of absolute idiots. Like as if Germany advertised..."Come visit, our Nazi war criminals now forgive you!"

Well, the government may well work on the relationship, but the American people will take a lot longer to forgive and they may well never forget.

The french have been anti-American for a long time and we always laughed about it, but now that they have endangered our lives, we don't think it's funny anymore. I know that I won't ever forget it.

US travellers, who previously topped the French capital’s league of foreign visitors, have been overtaken by the British. The French have reacted by launching an intensive marketing and public relations drive, optimistically entitled "Let’s Fall in Love Again", to bring them back. It includes a video in which the Francophile comedian and filmmaker Woody Allen talks about his love affair with France

You had a better chance with Jerry Lewis, Froggy.

and declares: "I don’t want to have to refer to my French fry potatoes as freedom fries, and I don’t want to have to freedom kiss my wife, when I really want to French kiss her."

Ugh. Thats an image I could've done without.

LOL Well I have plenty of lingering ill-feelings towards the French, the Germans, the Canadians, and the Mexicans. I refuse to purchase any good from these lands, I don't care what it is.

I just purchased 9 bottles of wine for a post 4th gathering. Not one of them is from France. And yes...I bought from our allies, even the Sake. :0)

Despite an upbeat assessment by the US ambassador in Paris, many political and business leaders on both sides of the Atlantic believe it will take time to patch up French-American relations following the war.

Yes, eternity sounds about right.

No thanks, you French @ss&ipes. I will stay home and you can stay home, too. Keep your over-priced wines over there as well. Your hotels will stay empty unless they fill up with Iraqis staying under forged passports courtesy of your intelligence service and Syria. Then we may decide to bomb them too. Or send the Mossad over to say howdy.

The arrogance of the slimy Frogs still amazes me.

What French genius came up with the idea to use Woody Allen and his appalling comment?

If there was any ad that reminded me why I ignore French goods, that was the perfect one.

What must scare the French is that this boycott is nothing official. It is each person acting on his or her own.

Thus it is tough to defeat.

I have learned many of the French companies and avoid their products scrupulously.

Funny thing though, I have not heard of any French soaps.

Imagine.

Near My house in New Jersey there is a French owned company called Durand Glass. They make everything from drinking glasses, mugs, plates, etc etc. Anyway, they have 3 glass furnace's that was running 24/7. Because of the our Boycot on French products 2 glass furnace's are now shut down. LOL

If nobody has been that way, they could take a vacation starting at Prairie Du Chien (Wisconsin). Nice city. Trips on a riverboat just over in nearby Iowa. Then go to House on the Rock (Spring Green). After, work ones way up on the "blue highways" to Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. Huge locking system there, worth seeing.

See, remnants of old France right on yer doorstep.

No hard feelings toward us? As if the U.S. is the one who needs to apologize? What Gaul!

The French did not like us before Iraq and they still don't like us now. I left Paris after two days into a seven day trip. If I want to treated rudely, I'll go visit my in-laws. I certainly don't need to pay that much money for it. Malaise is after all a French word. Service is maudlin, over priced,and more than a little irreglar. Special requests and questions are treated with unequaled arrogance.The French can kiss my lilly white Irish ass.

P.S. Paris smells
