    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.

    and another thing, should we rename all of these things to have "freedom" in place of "french"?

    french toast
    french manicure
    french dip sandwich
    french kiss
    french open
    french language
    french horn
    french tickler
    french poodle
    french press


    thats about all i can come up with off the top of my head...but you get the idea....
    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. :D

    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.
