‘Cheese-eating surrender-monkeys’ lose business due to US boycott

French online cheese boutique, Fromage.com, is receiving a raft of e-mails from irate US customers who may like the cheese, but take offence at France’s position on Iraq, in what seems to be the start of an unofficial boycott of French goods, according to a report from Reuters.

While American lawmakers are drafting legislation to impose sanctions on French water and wine because of the country’s demand that a case for war against Iraq has yet to be made, and her hawkish columnists are calling France a nation of ‘cheese-eating surrender-monkeys,’ Main Street, USA has stopped ordering French cheese online.

Orders for Fromage.com have declined considerably, says the report, but Marc Refabert, the owner of the internet fromagerie, is not moved. "You've got to be adult. I don't think it's a very well thought-through reaction," said Refabert.

He expects the Americans will climb down in a few months, saying that French cheese just tastes too good.

I'm surprised that a bunch of construction workers haven't bought an old Peugeot for about $50 and crushed it...

I wonder why the "Call us toll free" link says that the call center is closed? LOL

"You've got to be adult. I don't think it's a very well thought-through reaction," said Refabert.

Perhaps you'd care for a little fromage with your whine?

"You've got to be adult. I don't think it's a very well thought-through reaction," said Refabert.

Yes, you do have to be an adult, and France will not stand by her friend and protector when we need her most.

Well that's a fine idea.
