If I had a choice of languages other than English to speak, French would be top of the list. I have a kind of affinity with France even though I have never set foot in the place. Perhaps it's the food or the wine, or our shared indifference for ignorant Americans, but it was with an overwhelming sense of disappointment to see the French government display an exhibition of such stupidity that it made the most boneheaded American tourist look like a goddammed genius.
In a triumph of arrogant conservatism over being human, the French government introduced some sort of law to ban the wearing of the burqa. It is mind boggling to think that a country capable of such good pastries can bring such foolish concepts into law. At a time when people of the Muslim faith are feeling ever more ostracized by the western world, leave it to the French to fuck it up even further.
To whit, I condemn this vile behaviour by introducing the "Ban the Beret" campaign. Until this ridiculous action is reversed no beret shall adorn my bonce. Who's with me?
Le ban est merde! Vive la liberte indeed! Consider your outrage bloggedly shared.
ReplyDeleteAn outrage shared is an outrage..... uhm, doubled!
