I am so embarrassed.
*you're* embarassed? i'm currently living in the state where that stupid restauraunt first came up with the idea. boy, am i proud.
though it's quite disturbing that it caught on so effectively.
Just to be difficult, I'm going to start selling Bondage Fries. I don't even have a restaurant. What the hey. Fight stupidity with stupidity!
The weirdest part is that French toast is actually named after some Yank called French.
That and the way that "freedom" and "liberty" have been transformed into abstract, metaphysical qualities of the great American republic, Aristotelian essences as it were, rather than real phenomena. So when Ashcroft succeeds in turning America into the new USSR (and the Domestic Security Enhancement Act looks like doing just that), people will still say "no, that sort of thing could never happen in America because we believe in liberty", even while dissidents are picked off by database searches, stripped of their citizenship and shipped off to Guantanamo or somewhere.
Liberté, Fraternité, Egalité, and the Tree of Liberty in the shadow of the Guillotine.
And I'm not talking about France here.
Perhaps the French should ask for the Statue of Liberty back...
My girlfriend suggested: Freedom Kiss, Freedom Tickler, and Freedom Maid Outfit. It's a really sad time to be from the States.
The Freedom Maid Outfit would have to look like a French maid's outfit, only with gratuitous amounts of red, white and blue. As time progresses, an alternate urban legend grows around it having been the uniform of a cell of female revolutionaries in 1776 or something.
You mean like this?

Possibly, only with more lace and the like.
"...everybody from whores to Congressmen" Hmm, that's not a very broad spectrum is it?
No, but the phrasing was irresistible.
Perhaps all of you that are so embarassed of our country care to move to France? I'm sure they've always like us so much, you'll feel right at home.
Which country is 'our country'?
I bet all this renaming is being done by the very same people who obsessively hated political correctness.
