Guys, I'm not French, but the French-hating posts on this website are
pretty small-minded (especially as they were right to have serious
reservations about Iraq, but that's a whole other story....)
Suggestion: Unless you've actually got off your ass, left the US and
visited France, I'd suggest people should hold judgement. Very easy to
criticise from your armchair, especially when your opinions are formed
from such fantastic bastions of journalism as Faux News...
Freedom fries my hole. :)

And other gestures too aparently:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070104/wl_nm/france_tourism_dc
France issues guide to understanding rude Parisians
PARIS (Reuters) - You don't need to speak French to understand the
Parisians. You just need to know how to gesture.
Or so claims a new guide issued by French tourism officials to help
foreign tourists understand Parisians with a list of commonly used
gestures with meanings like "shut up."
It is a Reuters story though so the accuracy is sketchy at best.

Apparently "shut up" didn't work on Simeoni. I wonder what "pull or
get dropped" is in french sign language.

Dumbass,
I have been to France, and I even know some French people,
and my expert opinion is that apart from a few politicians and
rbr lamers, most French people, if a little prideful, are
intelligent enough not to take flamebait from trained gorillas
typing on the Internets seriously. You, on the other hand seem
not to give the French very much credit. I wonder why - a
painful experience with a baguette? Being dumped at the
age of seven by some floozy named "Madeline"?
Ben
p.s. Now if it was an orangutan, that would be different.
Orangutans never joke around.
