French connection
In light of the current ridiculousness concerning the adjective 'french' when speaking of food, I will be calling all food and drink 'french' from now on. For instance, I am drinking french orange juice right now. For dinner I had french lasagna. My own fun way to protest the stupidity of the times.

This new American sentiment to eliminate all thing french just because France does not support the war? Russia doesn't either, why not boycott Vodka? This is getting rediculous, renameing french fries freedom fries? comeone, french fries aren't even from France!
This is all starting to border on Xenophobic behavior. thxt thing you know French Nationals in the US will be rounded up and put into camps!

My favorite was removing "French Kiss" and making it a "Liberty Lip Lock."
...that makes it patriotic to swirl tongues in public.
*Achoo*
This is
Ridcilous! Just because they dont want to support us doesnt mean we have to lash out on their foods. Us boycotting or making a statement wont do shit for France so cut them some slack. We have no rights to harrass France becuase its their decision, we should respect it. Come on, you people make me sick. This is getting way out of hand, methinks.
Plus, everything about us is french anyway.
Way to go!
I've been talking to many French people lately. My mom goes to school with some of them. Being in Louisiana, we have a lot of French. The university were my mom goes to school has an excellent French program. These francophonic people are sometimes scared for there lives! Well, at least the ones from the big cities in LA. They want to go back to France! Some of them are scared of people in other parts of the US, and these people are from Africa! What we are doing to these people is horrible! Sure, French people can be VERY hard headed, but these people don't deserve what we are doing to them right now! Thanks, for the support Leisa!

You're ever so
welcome. It is truly my pleasure to piss off all the pro-bush/pro-war people who inhabit my town. :-D

People are eating "freedom" fries (french fries aren't from france, they're just "frenched," meaning to cut into long strips before cooking), pouring out French wine (dumb in general, you already paid for it).
This happened to German food products during World War II too. Sauerkraut was called "freedom" something.
It's all pathetically immature to me. Think of all the words in the English language we'd have to exchange to get rid of all the French ones we picked up.
