What does this have to do with customization? Nothing, but it's sure funny.

"Reuters reported today that unknown terrorists have crashed three Air France jetliners into the Eiffel Tower"
Yeah Brad - goddam hilarious. NOT.
WWW = WORLD wide web. not everybody finds this US centric "humor" homorous or appropriate.
Yes, I understand satire. I also understand gross over generalizations and stereotypes. So one French national made a judgement error. How soon we choose to forget the whole Salt Lake/Olympic commitee bribery scandal.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I thought it was funny. And it was a good satire.

Well, I'm normally the first to point out that satire is inappropriate in some places. When flash movies of the US dealing a righteous whoopin' to the Taliban first surfaced, I pointed out that it might not be quite so funny if someone put together a comedic flash movie of jetliners crashing into the twin towers.
However, I thought this was just a light hearted stab at the French after the recent judgement that has come under question in the olympics. Nothing particularly offensive here to me, and I'm not American.
