Freedom Fries
Just curious to see if anyone here has noticed a change at any of the local eating establishments.
I saw on the news that some restaurants are changing "French Fry" to "Freedom Fry", so they don't have to have the F word on the menu. Hooray for them.
I have begun my personal boycott of all things French and German. I know it won't amount to squat, but it makes me feel better. And to all that agree, no more gas from a Total station, they are French owned.
Also, feel free to add any obvious or not so obvious products that can be boycotted due to French or German ownership.

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but the 'French' fry got it name from the cut of the potato. It was not a 'French' culinary creation.

Now - as for what would Floridians do - this weekend apparently some of the Fla. folks got together and poured French wines down the sewers..... I'm sure most had to go out and try to find something to buy so they could participate, but I wasn't one of them. I drink Budwieser. If not a "Bud" then its a Beringers "Zin" or good ole Jose' for those frozen margarita times. I honestly cannot think of the first "French" product that I purchase anyway so I don't have anything to boycott.

Sorry, Yes PQ <>Province of Quebec.
From what we hear up here:
Apparently they are not welcomed there that much,except for their money.
They have ties to France.
In fact, Jacques Shellac once said to the world :" Vive Le Quebec" in favour of separatism for Quebec.

My personal experience with the French Canadians is that they seem to like to flaunt more than spend. This is only coming from my previous years of experience in the retail business so probably doesn't hold much weight. Canadians as a whole are and have been more than polite and considerate. For some reason, it's hard for people to cotton to the ones that think we owe something to them. I have some friends (very gooooood friends) that are French Canadians and they wouldn't trade me for the world. Their own kind, however, is a different story. Even Renee says that he can't see why they have to come down here and be such a........'s. Of course he's telling me this after he's beaten me in a few games of shoes!!!!

Incredible...
Floridians went out and paid for bottles of french wine (thus promoting the french economy) and then dumped them down the sewer...
Does anyone notice something wrong with that picture?
Take note that the Boston Tea Party was conducted before the offending product was unloaded onto US soil and paid for by the merchants in that city.
Brilliant.
I wonder who they think they've just voted for when they play the slots at a casino?

Are you guys telling me none of you are going to go out and buy a Renault? Come on, i cant really think of any quality products made in france. You would have to look hard for anything made there. Other than B.O. and bad manners.
