The French Are Just So Rude!
Quote:
French are rudest, most boring people on earth: British poll
May 20 3:00 AM US/Eastern

The French have been voted the world's most unfriendly nation by a landslide in a new British poll published. They were also voted the most boring and most ungenerous.

A decisive 46 percent of the 6,000 people surveyed by travellers' website Where Are You Now (WAYN) said the French were the most unfriendly nation people on the planet, British newspapers reported.

The Germans have no to reason to celebrate the damning verdict. They came second on all three counts.

WAYN's French founder, Jerome Touze, told the papers he had been stunned by the thumping condemnation of his compatriots and sought to blame it on Gallic love-struck sulking.

"I had no idea that the French would emerge as such an unfriendly country," he said.

"I think our romantic 'moodiness' is misunderstood and I will be sure to pass on the message to my family and friends back in France to be a bit more cheerful to tourists in the future."

Italy was voted the world's most cultured nation with the best cuisine, while the United States was named the most unstylish with the worst food.

The British did not feature in the top 10 of any of the categories.

"The British fit in nowhere -- good or bad. It appears that we are so completely average that the voters did not include us in any category," the tabloid Daily Express commented.

~SNIP~

To add insult to injury, British newspaper The Daily Telegraph put the boot in on Saturday by saying in an editorial that the French stank.

"The French may like to think that Chanel No 5 is their scent but we all know that garlic and stale Gitanes are much more representative."

One of the many reasons why the British and American peoples shall remain steadfast friends and allies.....common sense and the ability to call a frog a frog.

Dear god! What a shock! Seriously though, it was conducted in Britain, I consider it a law to hate the French here.

I've heard the French say they don't much care about the US gunpowder with Mc Special Sauce scent

(pre-emptive) No need to ask an American about Canadian aroma ... bacon or blubber, probably ... or puck rubber ...

Oh? Are you sure? You could be mistaken. Only a pompous jackass could assume to know that.
