France Dispatch - Unfortunate Names

If you don't like the taste, you can't say they didn't warn you.

One of the shit many beautiful whore hilltop villages.

This compliments their lack of a leash law quite nicely.

If this is what the French start the kids on, it pretty much explains everything.

Ah yes, Pschitt! I remember that stuff. Doesn't taste too bad, but does raise a giggle when the drink of "limonade" you ordered arrives at the table in its can.
For taste rather than humour though, I heartily recommend Orangina, one of the best things to come out of France. I'd happily drink litres of the stuff (you can't drink gallons over there, I think you can possibly be arrested by the EU for using antiquated imperial units).

Orangina?!

Scandalous!

Jeez,it's like soft-porn for Furries! :)
Not particularly outrageous for French TV though. I remember (vividly) as a young man on an exchange visit watching their pop videos on the TV on Saturday morning with my jaw on the floor.
A great country!

Indubitably!

I would love for my son (and daughter, for that matter) to have the same opportunity ... need to make friends with some French folk so I can exchange him (them), too!

Ooh, my "whole name" on my initial comment was truncated. It should have read:

Kelly, In Seattle (who is amused by the Orangina ad and not the least bit a prude like some but is not into Furries, at least not yet anyway - never say never! But really, probably never.)

There. That's better.

I've found that making fun of mild mental illnesses is always funnier in France -- ask Jerry Lewis.

Well, my exchange visit was organised by my school, who partnered with a school in the Jura region (Champagnole) in the French alps. Absolutely beautiful place.

God I love the French. You can just picture the creative meeting:

"Ok, we're going for lots of sexy, mostly naked women having Orangina being sprayed all over them"

"The censors will never allow that!"

"Hmmm...got it...we'll use female animals instead of women."

"Genius, let's do it."
