About what I expected from cheese eating surrender monkeys.

Almsot as annoying as Jar Jar Binks or Wicket W Warrick.

I consider my self a rational person but the only plausible penalty for this is death.
They have profaned our prophets and now we must declare Jedi Jihad against the infidel.

Hmmm.. just imagining an al-qaeda style video death-threat read by yoda. I wonder if that would have given them more credibility among westerners than that guy they do have.

Probably.

I wonder if osama bin laden would have been prosecuted by sony yet if he had worn a spiderman outfit.

sorry for that ramble. I leave now.

John Williams should sue.

The fact that their secret service bombed a ship in a terrorist act - killing a member of its crew, in auckland harbour about 10km from my house.. for the 'crime' of protesting against France testing nuclear weapons in our neigbourhood (and pretty much exactly on the opposite side of the world from france) .. that miffed a few people around here also.

Of course a lot of French people were just as disgusted by that act.

 

[nimbus]

Of course a lot of French people were just as disgusted by that act.

Doubtful.

 

[nimbus]

Wait a minute! The French do nothing but grumble, so in fact, according to this exceptionally comprehensive assessment, they would, in fact, have been in-dignified by that act of terrorism.

 

[tom_hobbes]

Okay while we're bashing the French, anyone remember L'Enfant or Lafayette? Anyone here play Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon or Assassins Creed? Dig the Statue of Liberty? Anyone drink French Wine? Oh crap, ya got me...

Anyway, in response to John Williams suing anybody (mentioned above) see if you can spot the borrowed riffs... To quote but a few...
