Afternoon giggle: An e-mail from France

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 30, 2008 03:16 PM

A French TV crew is headed to America on an anthropological quest to interview some strange, alien creatures. One of them e-mailed me for advice.

I don’t know why this cracks me up so much, but it does. There’s something Inspector Clouseau-like about it. Had to share:

Hello,

We are a french tv crew, working for France 5 international media (France, Canada, francophone States). We are flying to the States to prepare a report about the Pro Bush Americans. I would like to get your advice about where to go and who could we meet?

Thanks for your help,

Best regards,
Fabrice Hoss
French reporter
France 5 tv
24 quai Alphonse Le Gallo
92100 Boulogne

Bon voyage!

    A stupid trolls report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

    Some movie had the line that the only culture ever to come out of France was over priced wine and a horny skunk.

    I believe that is correct.

    On a side note, if you value your life, never be caught after dark on any street named “Malcom X” or “Martin Luther King”

    I had some German exchange students as neighbors. One time in the middle of the night i heard a loud crash, i ran out onto my patio to see these two guys out on their patio. They told me they had heard a car alarm go off and ran out to check if it was their car and ran into the screen door blasting it off the track.

    The next night i went to their place as it was the weekend, the beer was flowing and they always had college girls hanging out at their place. One of the girls asked about the screen door leaning against the wall as it was bent and could not be put back on the tracks. I said the boys thought the patio was France and they stormed it. We all had a really good laugh. Just thought I would share that one, one of my finer quick witted moments.

    OMU,

    Americans aren’t jealous of the French – We should be ashamed of the scandalous behavior they have exhibited towards us since the end of the War: We saved them twice in the 20th Century (The Brits actually argue if the US was necessary at all in either war – watching BBC is an eye opener) and they (France) immediately turned their backs on us by pulling out of NATO, then the 1986 Airspace incident, the refusal to work with us in this war and a general smear campaign that has followed in France for the last 60 years.

    All of this animosity from the French has been fomented by the Communists who have been in charge of the government and infiltrated the schools (not just in France but the whole of Europe).

    The difference between Americans and Europeans (in general) is that, on the whole, Europeans believe in their governments and what they are told in the press (run by the Governments, of course). Americans do not – by the very nature of our upbringing we are taught to distrust the government and the press (at least some of the press) is supposed to bring to light corruption and misdeeds perpetrated by the government.

    I heard someone say once that Europeans’ only hope in life is to be mediocre – there is a lot of truth to that. The most successful Euros were either born to it or emmigrated to countries outside the EU.

    Americans will not put up with that.

    As for culture, I have to admit, it is an amazing thing to see what was accomplished in Europe. Even more amazing is what they accomplished under the yoke of truly repressive governments that would murder you and your family for positing a simple note explaining the truth but insulting the government.

    However, after the war, when the socialists took over European government (that was our fault by the way for shoveling Marshall Plan money at them and covering all of their bills for so long – now they expect it) and all real creativity was killed. New, psuedo artists create crap and call it art because they went to the right school. I live about 3 blocks from a modern art museum where they put up a 20 foot high replica of “David” painted pink with golden genetalia – “Art”?? no.. “Pornography”?? no.. “Stupid”?? Oh yess! But some art school grad made a lot of money for his “statement”.

    Sorry I dropped off the conversation last night, It was 1am on my side of the pond..

    Someone asked what I do over here.. I do work for my Uncle but not the DOD.

    One last thing and I will stop..

    An old German Diplomat once said to me, “It’s easy to hate the French. You aren’t a Pro until you hate the British.”

    Take it for what it is worth.

    I find that typical of the trolls on here. They take themselves and their beliefs so seriously and are convinced others do as well. They are legends in their own minds. Such arrogance that they voice pea brained opinions as though from G_d Himself.

    Agreed! (That 2009 line is very funny, btw!)

    It gets so tiresome reading the posts of Troll “A,” when they’re nothing more than a rehash of the comments Troll “B” made the day before.

    And poor LGM is so predictable with his quick-on-the-draw equivocations, that half the time I just scroll past them, finding them more of a hindrance than inciting towards reading through the thread of comments.

    Exactly! And although he’s since denied it, I could’ve sworn Water Shed and Rusty were one in the same – their verbiage and tone are so similar.

    Send them my way, Michelle, I have some learning for them. I’ve been itching to get even for a couple of customs officers in Nice just before the 2004 presidential election. After lunch at the Bass Pro Shop, I’ll demonstrate why real motors have eight cylinders. Then we’ll line up for a neo-American Gothic photo shoot in front of my Iowa acreage with the Cadillac, Corvette and Lincoln pick up as props. That’s what “W” did for me, you effete, craven losers.

    C in Europe, that’s a good post. I tend to believe that rather than the Communists sucking the ambition out of their various old European populaces, it is more likely that the best of those countries emigrated to the U. S. long ago.
