The US-owned and US-produced FRENCH mustard had to send a press release 20 years ago as the deplorables were boycotting it en masse following the disaster of the Irak invasion.
Guaranteed they'll start saying 'freedom toast' and 'freedom fries', again. Maybe they'll start switching it up and buy Freedom Doors, or get a Freedom Manicure.
What kind of fabricated far-right outrage am I missing? Last time I heard about boycotting France was in 2003 and the disaster of invading Irak, the deplorables boycotted the US-owned and US-produced FRENCH mayonnaise and sang as a choir all the French-bashing slurs they heard from Rush Limbaugh.
France is a historically catholic country... so the issue isn't they might have called to religion. It's that they included gay people and that's "inappropriate in polite company"
Eh, they'll be pissed about something new in a week. That's their defining characteristic: they're always angry about something. That must be so exhausting, living like that.
Reminds me when we didn't endorse USA with the war on Irak. They were like "OK???!!! THEN WE WILL STOP DRINKING WINE AND EATING CHEESE HAHAHA!!!!" And we were all like "huh yeah ok"
There's already incredibly high taxes on food products, and the industrials buying French heavy machineries dont care. But it was fun seeing the deplorables boycotting the US-owned and US-produced FRENCH mayonnaise.
My guess: the opening ceremony supposedly mocked gawd. It didn't, but right-wing media said it did, so it must have, and they'll be mad about it until they're told to be mad at something else.
Frenchman here, I had no idea the opening had this effect on some. It's a nice reminder that among the firsts to go to the scaffold, many were from the Clergy, and for the same reasons.

It's fukken cringe to see "white flag" memes still existing in 2024.
France, I've telling them the Olympics are in Paris Texas. Not even joking, I've been telling them it's cause Ted cruzes wife's boyfriend is bisexual and hot dam have I seen some really concerned and upset people when I tell them that. It's funny as hell.
Wait.... I know about the tiny Eifel tower ... But does it have a cowboy hat??? Or is there a rather large cowboy hat somewhere around the fake tiny Eifel tower.
They're Republicans, I tell them weird shit all the time. They can't tell what's true or not. They're so busy lying to themselves about how they aren't bad people. They can't see the daylight anymore.
Wow, never even heard of Las Vegas New Mexico. Looked it up and immediately, on the search page alone you know it's not Las Vegas Nevada. Gonna see if I can't get some of them to think Nevada is like a county in New Mexico or something like that.

Are we going to have freedom fries and freedom toast again?

And never will travel more than a few hours from their trailers.

Holy shit. Nothing I make up can compare to the actual stupidity of these people.
thunderspud
You.... you don't need a passport to boycott somewhere FYI.
obijan
Technically true I guess. But it is as effective as me boycotting Maserati.
GordonFreeman59
I've been a strong advocate for boycotting any airline first class since my birth and I'll die on that hill. Willingly or not.

I am French and I cannot understate how much we love it when conservative Americans try to boycott us. Must be doing something right.

Outrage because art weirdos gonna art weirdly. The party of “F**** your feelings” sure has a lot of feelings that get hurt often.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
I understand feeling confusion: "What the hell is that?" I don't understand feeling outrage about it. Just shrug and move on.
Noughmad
That's why they don't say "fuck my feelings" or even "fuck feelings". They explicitly say "fuck your feelings".

If you "feel" when looking at art that means it worked! No matter the feeling! #snowflakes 😆

That's because the party that calls everybody "fragile little snowflakes" is full of fragile little snowflakes.

It's fear. Anger is the response but it's all fear tactics.
ElusiveThing
Okay. I appear to be out of the loop. What upset the yokels this time?
stevencloser
The opening show for the Olympics.
ElusiveThing
Oh. I quite liked it, but then again they are angry about many things I don't understand. Thanks for catching me up!

Same for "french" wines, like bruh your Pinot Noir is made in California.

From what I remember about the pro Bush crowd, probably closer to Boones Farm.

I was thinking the same thing.
cepacolusmaximus
I'm starting to think the whole anti-french sentiment has more to do with discrediting their vocal and mobilized workforce than anything else

I sent two of them to Las Vegas new Mexico instead of Las Vegas Nevada. Betcha they learn to read a map now..... unlikely tho.
