How Stupid Can We Get?

In North Carolina the owner of Cubbie's restaurant no
longer sells french fries. The owner, Neal Rowland, has
renamed the fried potato strips "freedom fries" in the light
of French officials backing away from a possible war in
Iraq.

The sign in the window reads: "Because of Cubbie's support
for our troops, we no longer serve french fries. We now
serve freedom fries," and Neal says his intent is not to
slight France, but to take a patriotic stance and show his
support for the US.

"It's our way of showing our patriotic pride," says Neal,
who says his business serves a lot of serviceman. Neal says
the rename is much like the renaming of food during WWI when
anti-German sentiment was high, hamburgers were renamed
liberty steaks.

"chips" in the US are "crisps" over here, but "chips" here
are big fat fuckoff made-of-potato deep fried fries. The
chippers (take-aways, chipshops etc) are Italioan for some
reason. Mmm, tastey!

oh, and the answer to the question: Very

are you implying that by a war with iraq the iraqis wont be
free? as if they were free now or something?

its cool to be anti war but the funny part (not you nacmat -
just a general statement) most people just bash bush like
saddam hussein is some great man, hes a brutal fucking
person, yet everyone praises him like hes some victim of
bush

No they don't -- in every interview I've ever heard with a
person who is anti-war, they have been at pains to point out
that they believe Saddam ought to be removed from power.
