Imagine members of the US Government going to the Late Show and laughing at foul language comments made about france?? Well, that is exactly what is happening now in france.
So, although I would not have gone as far as changing the name of food things, I can't really condemn it.
I think it would be best if we stopped buying french products, after all; that is the language the french understand...

Like the SNL sketch abouit the French at the UN council????

PS: did you ever travelled?? I mean OUTSIDE the USA ...:)

I don't know what is worse:

Morons renaming french fries (le frites)
or
The French.

Just kidding. I love the French, especially the ones that look like Juliette Binoche.
