Frogs

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090709/lf_nm_life/us_france_tourists

An article on who makes a bad tourist, in which a French guy manages to sound like an arrogant asshole by explaining why the French come off like arrogant assholes. "Eet ees only becauze vee have such a vonderfool cauntry. People only need to be see zhe world vhen zheir own cauntry . . . how shall I say? Sucks, yes?" Is it a coincidence that the word "chauvinism" is from the French? I think mais non. God love 'em. They gave us brie and revolution. But discretion? Not so much.

Thousands of years of beatdowns and the French still can't reign it in. At least PRETEND they are not snobs - I mean you can THINK you are the best and all, but have the manners NOT TO SAY IT to someone else's face, damn.

And they say it in such an offhand way. Like it's just obvious, and they're only saying what everyone is thinking. Like the Prom Queen from hell - "They only hate us because they're all jealous of how amazing we are."
