Take That Freedom Fries

The BBC is reporting today that France's interest in Halloween has officially ended. [BBC] Apparently the French were very into Halloween in the early 90s, then some anti-Halloween (read: anti-American) groups were formed and interest in Halloween has gradually declined to the point where the anti-Halloween group has disbanded. The situation is so dire, that even French supermarkets have lost interest in the holiday. So, although the BBC doesn't come out and say it what I'm picking up here is that the French hate Americans and they have decided to express that hate through hating Halloween- which the French should really love because it gives them a chance to flaunt their smelly pits in disguise. But anyway despite my feeling that the French really ought to shower more frequently I like their country and culture and think all this animosity is misplaced. Maybe they could rename Halloween- Smelly Pits in Disguise Day to reflect French pride, like we renamed freedom fries. I think I'll float that idea to the powers that be- which sounds like it's supermarkets from the BBC story.

This post comes so close to the last one because that Yasmine Bleeth pic was really creeping me out.
