Quote: I can't believe this, are Americans really not squeezing French mustard on their bratwurst?
Never did, really . . . 'Mericans prefer the prepared yellow mustard variety, of which the most popular brand is, ironically, French's . . . those who go in for
realstupidpolitik aren't likely to have ever been users of Gray Poupon, or the like . . . you don't hear this kind of thing about German products, which are probably more popular. People really had to scratch their heads on this one, to try to think of French products they could boycott. I told some of the idjits that Bic is a French company, so they should ditch their Bic pens and lighters--the largest selling brand of these items here. They usually had to think about that one, and then would deny it, pulling the pen and/or lighter they inevitably had in their pocket, and remarking that the inscription "Made in America" is to be found on them. I'd just give them an ironic look and say: "Fine, if you want the American branch to send all of its profits off to France, its no concern of mine." This always left them perplexed and a little dismayed--after, the mental calibre of those who subscribe to such horseshit is such that they are easily toyed with.
There are planks of this variety in every country--there is/was the National Front, after all, n'est-ce pas?
