Catfish sent me this breaking story.
PARIS, France --
Lance Armstrong's record setting seventh Tour de France victory, along with his entire Tour de France legacy, may be tarnished by what could turn out to be one of the greatest sports scandals of all time. Armstrong is being quizzed by French police after three banned substances were found in his South France hotel room while on vacation after winning the 2005 Tour de France.
The three substances found were toothpaste, deodorant, and soap which have been banned by French authorities for over 75 years.
Armstrong's girlfriend, American rocker Sheryl Crowe, is quoted as saying "We use them every day in America, so we naturally thought they'd be ok throughout Europe."
Along with these three banned substances, French authorities also physically searched Armstrong and found several other interesting items that they had never seen before, including a backbone and a testicle.
LOL too good.

Makes perfect sense. I just learned that the French military has been shut down for an extended period of time. It seems that the white flag factory burned to the ground during the night.

The fact is that average French GDP growth per capita over the past 10 years (2%), has been very similar to that in the U.K. (2.3%) and the U.S. (2.1%). More interestingly, as pointed out in a March article by Denis Clerc in "Alternatives Economiques," France has actually enjoyed stronger job growth than the U.K. over that period (14% vs. 11%), and fewer of those jobs were created in the public sector -- 300,000, or 15%, of the new jobs in France are government jobs, versus 860,000, or 45%, in Britain.
In that sense, the higher unemployment rate in France comes from the fact that the French working-age population during that period has increased by 12% compared to only 6% in Britain.
This was just for you Denny, who loves to say you're far richer,
your growth doesn't seem so good ... compare to France.
France is economically much stronger than you can imagine
LOVE IT!
Posted by: AnnaB on August 29, 2005 09:25 AMPierce - Our growth is stronger, our unemployment is lower, we're more productive, we're richer, we have the stongest military in the world, and an American has won your bicycle race seven times in a row. That was just for you Pierce.
France is starting a long downhill slide as its economy implodes due to socialism and unchecked Muslim integration. Ya wanna bet that we continue to kick your ass for the next ten years?

You know, Pierce is like one of them darned pieces of dogshit you find on your shoe...you shake your leg for ages and cannot get rid of it, you wipe it, you smash it on the floor and STILL you can't get rid of it.....why on Earth does he keep popping up saying 'Yah boo France she is thee best' and sprouting stats etc?
Posted by: Dave t on August 29, 2005 07:14 PMIt's because he believes that France is still a world power. France's glory years are behind it, and soon its Muslim population and its own lazy citizens will turn it ito a third rate country. It's already a second rate country.
Posted by: Denny on August 29, 2005 08:38 PMKnowing France, and staying there when needed, your comments and posts made me laugh!
They are cruel but song so right.
Perfect point on xenophobia and purity of language and culture.
Their arrogance is boundless. The funiest are their posts to your comments. These people are so stupid, that they did not even notice your site is 2nd degree humour (or 3rd ?). In fact you love France and french. It is deep-rooted in you. But you are so ashamed, that you lauched these french-bashing pages.
The proof : you have the same arrogance based on your egocentric vision of power, past or present. For the future ? Time will tell.
I might be wrong of course. I am wrong, am I not ?
You do not have a love-hate relation with France, do you ?
D
p.s. Why do love to bash such easy targets ?
p.p.s. in my address : "the" stands for my egocentricity
C'mon Dan - Me arrogant? Whatever gave you that idea?
"In fact you love France and french. It is deep-rooted in you. But you are so ashamed, that you lauched these french-bashing pages."
Whoa dude! Turn in your psychology license. I bash the French because it is fun to do and, as you pointed out, it is so easy. I do not love France. I like their wines and their cognac. They make good sailboats. Other than that, nada. They are a nation of losers.
And you are right, great powers always decline and that will happen to the United States someday. I will be dead before that happens.
Posted by: Denny on August 30, 2005 03:43 PMHARDEEHARHAR!!!! I love you, man! When I ship back stateside, I'm flying to Atlanta before I outprocess at Ft. Benning...I'm gonna come and give you a kiss on both cheeks... holy shit I'm starting to sound FRENCH! I need a drink!
Posted by: civilwarrior on August 30, 2005 05:51 PMI hate the french too, but we need to watch them they are taking over the world . I used to work for a company that sold out to the French Government .You would be totally amazed at all the American companies that are owned by those FAGGOTS .The trick is they own all the stocks in a company and leave the name alone such as;Certainteed ,Owens Corning, Ball jars ,Norton abrasives,and anything under the Saint Gobain name. There is a diffrent way of taking over the world than by force .So we either gotta bend over or burn'em . I AIN'T BENDING OVER SO FUCK THE FRENCH !
Posted by: Doug on September 2, 2005 02:51 PMand fuck you doug: connard!
It's called businness idiot!
When Pepsico buy a French brand, it will keep the original name: it's regionalism.
So hard to understand??
U soon of a bitch.
Don't worry Doug - When the French economy implodes sometime within the next ten years, they will no longer own all those companies, unless the owners move to another country that is in better shape than France.
