Petty and Dangerous
As per the usual bile from the American 'France' haters, we have seen a backlash from US bloggers towards L'Equipe for blowing a whistle on Lance Armstrong's alleged drug habits. You see, the reason for L'Equipe reporting this story was not to see justice being carried out, rather it was motivated by jealousy. Apparently, the French are jealous of the fact that the Americans can win the Tour de France with one leg caught in the spokes, while the French haven't had a winner in eons.
It reminds me of a conversation I overheard in a bar between two old geezers in Wisconsin a few years back. One says to the other "what's up with all these kids carrying Swiss army knives?". The other guy says "yeah, like who the fuck did the Swiss ever take on?".
These comments indicate that some Americans have a sort of complex in relation to us Europeans. The hatred emanating from the US is completely nonsensical and dangerous. Remember the time Bill O'Reilly tried to get the great American public to boycott French produce?
Here's the bumper sticker he wanted commuters to put on their cars.
