consumer demand should not triumph over good taste and cultural sophistication.

So Sayeth the French.

How dare the foolish users of search engines determine the ranking of responses? Good thing the French government is there to push back the encroachment of the English speaking world. Hell, if they don't take care of this soon, someone might google across the idea that France is way past her prime on the world scene.

viva la difference.

I think the french language, culture and customs should be protected from the encroachment of the rest of the world, at all cost. They should build a big wall/fortification around the country for protection. Name it after some famous french hero like....oh...say........André Maginot. :eyebrow:

I'd feel safer :)

Me too. If it was patrolled and electrified and stuff, like in Escape from New York, and they couldn't get out ...

Chirac has always been fairly gaullist, this stuff is mostly for internal consumption only, like a lot of US politics.

OH, there ya go, throwing the US into it again! This is about FRANCE, Jag. FRANCE! Don't go diluting the blood of the faithful unwashed! :)

And fill it with water.

or cheezwhiz......yeah, cheezwhiz.

or how about some sort of deodorent to keep the stink down?
