why is it in poor taste?The French hate Lance Armstong because he is an american that keeps winning their most famous and domestically popular sporting title, French fans spat at him on the tour. Just be big enough to bite your tongue and take this one on the chin, otherwise this PC and censorship crap is getting way out of hand.

OK, so while we're debating the matter, here's a lovely old joke:

You enjoy it, right? It's funny, no?

Hehe, you lose:
2 kids walk in the getto eating a littpe piece of dry bread.
Suddenly another rid runs past them, snatches the piece of bread and goes on running.
One of the kids starts running after the thief but get's stopped by his friend who says "It's alright, I got his number".

I have to say, I find TX's joke far better. Guess that is the Holocaust dividend Finkelstein goes on about: best H jokes.
On the spitting, as I understand it, it was mainly germans who spat at Armstrong, in support of Ulrich.
Even if it were (mainly) French, it's irrelevant. Millions of French people did not spit at Armstrong, so it is hard to say the French hate him...
I hoped he would not win actually. Not neccesarily because he's from the US, I could not care less, but as 6 was the magical number or holy grail for the TTF. Four won it 5 times. Now that that record is broken, the other accomplishments just don't care anymore.
Mind you, he may win yet again and another time.
I liked the backbone and testicle stuff, if only because I know how some in the US (and outside of it) view the French, and this was a great way to bring it home. Not that I'd actually agree with it, but he, that is what humor is about.Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

Well the french government has done plenty of things to piss me off. But the french peopleI have met have been quite reasonable.
And since they are the only one's who seem to be doing anything good about the dafur and the refugees in chad, I fell like cutting them a bit of slack right now..
I have had enough of the steady stream of vague but posinous jokes coming from some countries(maybe because the french were right ans they were not)
Feel free to make jokes about others but you better be able to laugh about youselves..without exploding

Isn't it amazing. A joke about the French in execrable taste keeps on going, but one, in equally execrable taste, about the Americans gets itself slanged by the American members here

Exactly, thats what a joke is about, even if your on the wrong side of it you can see why it would be humerous. As far as jokes about others go for it, the americans are a bunch of trigger happy obese people, the brittish are secret slaves to the americans who dare not speak their minds or offencd the europeans in any way. I dont care if people poke fun at me or the people i respect, becuase i know what i believe, the only time i would get in a huff over it is if they said something that i did not wish to be associated with but was never the less true. If we have a little amnesty on these type things then all we do is breed a nazi state where freedom is censored by "those that know better". Not for me thanks
now bring on your harshest anti brittain jokes for me
