This French action annoys me more than any of their diplomatic stances.

The ministry of truth expands Newspeak

They are French. What did you expect? Elitist to the core. To hell with the frogs.

50,000 frenchmen can be wrong.
The actions of the French often bring to mind the old poster titled: "the final act of defiance". This poster displays a mouse flipping off an eagle with talons stretched as it is about to grab the mouse. The frogs can scream all they want, life will progress just fine without their participation.

I saw a program on that a long time ago. They showed a meeting of some French ministry in charge of eliminating foreign words. They showed them working on a replacement word for "CD."
