Ooh-La-La!

http://www.washtimes.com/national/inpolitics.htm

This is sooooo true!

Ooh-la-la
Google, the planet's most popular Internet search engine, has tallied the most popular queries made in October. "Halloween" was tops in the United States, Britain, Canada, Sweden and Brazil while "Britney Spears" and "SpongeBob" reigned in the Netherlands.

The Germans craved "Telefonbuch" and the Spanish "Marca."

And the French? Their most popular query was "France."

I wonder why that was the case?

*CLICHE ALERT*


I thought France's choice would've been "surrendering".

No, wait, they already have that down pat.....we know they won't be looking up deodorant, there's just no interest in that at all.

I almost think that the query is: "Who are we? What are we all about?"

Either they're terribly ignorant of their own culture, or they are trying to figure out what it as they are, as a people?

Could that be the case?

Come on, everybody knows the French are tourist hating, self centered, arrogant cheese eating surrender monkies. They're looking up France just to see what everybody's saying about them.

Hmm, 2+2+2 = 6 , or in other words, the French are scared, egotistical simians who eat bleu cheese and have farts that smell like their breaths?

Yes, I think I can accept that.
