PARDON, MONSIEUR

Your inferiority complex is showing...through your children.
In January, a cartoon festival was held in the town of Carquefou, just outside of Nantes in the northwest corner of France. Students of all ages competed in a contest to illustrate their vision of the United States. They drew obese Americans devouring Coca-Cola and McDonald's hamburgers. They drew the Statue of Liberty with fangs or in chains or being run over by a wicked Uncle Sam on a motorcycle. And they drew George W. Bush: Bush riding a tank to war; Bush taking over the world; Bush as a liar; Bush as a monster.
This from the only country in Europe not to distribute The Passion of the Christ because it can't be sure it won't create another Jew mobbing, Syngogue defacing outbreak.
