‘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.

The French are so morally superior:

JERUSALEM, March 15 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - A French hotel refused to receive Israeli guests, protesting the massacres perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian people, an Israeli newspaper reported Friday.

every conflict since 1776 they've been on our side.

I'm tired of hearing this garbage. The French were on the side of whoever happenned to be winning at the time. Not to mention the fact that we inherited their mess in Vietnam! This statement is complete rubbish!

Let's not go too far. I wouldn't buy Vermont cheese if I were you. As the senators from vermont illustrate, I think there is something in the vermont milk that effects the brain. Use at your own risk

French cheese just tastes too good.

Not good enough to justify supporting the economy of a country that supports a brutal, terrorism-enabling dictator. Sorry, Jacques, until further notice, my wine is coming from California, Italy and Spain, and my cheese will be from Wisconsin.
