I don't want to jump on the 'French are *********s' bandwagon with both feet, but it is an interesting story. Something to be learned here, or observed at least, about human nature.

Like what? Japs and French treat each and guests other differently. They are from opposite ends of the world. Is that such a big surprise? Lets see, I was born in Singapore where people were one way and Americans were another. I came here when I was young back in 80 (13 yo at that time) and I never expected things to be the same. So, you hop on a plane and go somewhere foreign and people behave differently. No fake!! Who'd thunk it!
Even people in the Yankee states behave differently from the Confederate states. You travel abroad to see different things and when they are different, you get so shocked you need a mindfawk. Maybe these people should stay in their own village or whatever rock they crawled out from.
I don't know if they are *******s since I haven't been around them enough. However, I do know that they tend to be a colder sort of people from across the pond and not as warm as we are used to. However, I don't see what there is to be learnt other than people are different in different parts of the world and don't believe everything that you see on TV.
You know, I see on TV that girls here are just waiting to hop into the sack. I was so shocked when it didn't happen that I am going to need some Prozac.
I also read the streets were paved with gold. Closest thing I have seen is a $20 bill. WTF? I am shocked. Shocked, I say!!I also saw on TV that we have can travel back or forward in time. Where is the time machine?
