Why can’t American commercials be this funny?
It’s a Dutch commercial, but I found it posted in French. Hence my attempt at humor with a phonetic rendering of the only French I know in the title of this post.
Speaking of the French, President Obama was in for some criticism this week:
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has a message about Iraq for Barack Obama: Get back to the White House and do something.
“I know it is the holiday period in our Western countries,” Fabius told a radio interviewer Tuesday in France, “but when people are dying, you must come back from vacation.”
As one wag put it “who thought we’d see the day when the French would criticize the Americans for taking too much vacation.”
I’m guessing that’s “fermez la bouche.”
American TV doesn’t have the balls to transcend its own sexual prudery.
Heh, that’s sounds right. Guess my phonics were as bad as my French. I understand it to mean “shut your mouth”, which is why I thought it went well with the video…
