Viva La Stupide!

French_flag We could, in honor of Bastille Day, write about the rich history of France, that nation's delicious food or the many French contributions to culture. 

However, this is the dumb blog and I want to keep my job, so without further adieu, here are...

Seven Stupid Things France Has Done This Summer

1.  France's First Lady, chanteuse Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, attempts to compliment England's men and calls them girly.

2.   Editor-in-chief of "Paris Match" magazine apologizes for mistakenly celebrating 400th Anniversary of Quebec province rather than Quebec City.

3. At a military demonstration, a soldier fires real bullets into a crowd instead of blanks and injures 16 people, four of whom are children.

4.  Whoops!  Uranium accidentally leaks into the river.  No swimming, s'il vous plait!

5.  Tour de France begins and is plagued by another drug scandal. Seriously, at this point they should let riders take anything they want and just let the best man, woman or doped-up dog win. 

6. French filmmaker Luc Jacquet of "March of the Penguins" fame has put a fox and a child together, called the movie "The Fox and the Child" and he expects us to get all excited about it?  Eh, not so much.

7. In France, pink wine is a craze amongst both sexes and set to overtake white wine in popularity.  Also, the Brits would like to ask one of the Rose-swilling lads why they are the feminine ones.
