It can't be an official boycott since French goods are still available here.

I've already been branded un-American in Francophobe threads because I refuse to be bossed around and told what I can or cannot buy in order to "prove" my patriotism, so je m'en fou.

Incidentally, the most hated people in France are Parisians, especially the enarques, graduates of the Ecole Nationale d'Administration. These are the busy-bodies who govern France and create anti-American-Anglo crises in order to cover their own ignorance and fear of reality, and their self-enriching corruption.

Theodore Dalrymple has an interesting series in the English Review entitled Journey Across France. Reading it, you might become more sympathetic to the helplessness and frustration of the ordinary French citizen.

I don't know what, in your mind, would be an "official" boycott, but those who are offended by the hostility of France's leadership toward the US have made their sentiments known.
