They changed them to Freedom Fries?

yeah in like 2003 in the lead up to the iraq war some republican congressman or senator was saying we should do that. it has been kind of an american joke since then. i have never ever heard anyone call them that with a straight face, but this is fox we are talking about here lol...



EDIT: and if i recall correctly, according to the daily show, it was about this same time that the french started putting idiot cheese on their hamburgers....

If I remember correctly, there were also reports of people pouring bottles of champagne and French wine into the drains as a protest. It made me think of the Beatles spoof movie "The Rutles" where people were burning their albums, but bought so many of them to burn that the band got rich.

Once on a reno show some manly 'merican carpenter referred to the doors as "freedom doors" (instead of french doors) :roll:

such a narrow and stupid world view.
i just don't get people's aversion to things that have "french" in the title...or why they feel the need to call it something as stupid as "freedom _________".....

what would they say if the "america's cup" boat race was referred to as the "moron cup"?

It was stupid, for sure.

But your comparison is a little off....it's not like they changed the name to "Ugly, smelly, & rude" fries

You know that the French in French fries is referring to the cut of the potato and not the origin of the food.

French-cut: /ˈfrɛntʃˈkʌt/ [french-kuht] –adjective (esp. of string beans) sliced lengthwise into long, thin strips.

Fox news is always out for sensationalism and all of you should know that. To make this big a fuss of something that dumb on Fox news is only causing it to gain gravity. If you think it's dumb then allow it to cause its own extinction.

I may have considered choosing the Freedom Horn in high school band. And France can keep their poodle, tickler, and manicure ... the others are welcomed to be Americanized.

This was implemented by members of congress; it wasn't just Fox being Fox.

The French are probably the most socially and politically aware people in the Western world. No wonder they’re demonized.

I'm sure it sounded too German considering it is German.
