Come to think of it, what's with the surge of anti-France-ism lately? Some of it seems downright ridiculous, like the House's decision to rename "French Fries" "Freedom Fries" (Just for the record, I don't know why you even call them french fries).

[Jake]  Probably just a little more subtle [url=http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?board=56;action=display;threadid=27772]UTism[/url] at work.  I personally plan to get an extra large "french fries" at the nearest McDonalds this evening, as I have been known to do on some occasion.  I don't see what all the fuss is about it; but since we are at all this irrational UTism, I guess it should cause little surprise that these stupid little patriot memes might express themselves in gastronomical/linguistic combinations like this.  Very kindergarten.
