This is a real Frog, with a real beret, and a real cigarette.
He’s even the subject of a real exhibition in Paris.
This is a fake Frog, with a real bottle of wine, in a real gutter.
Apparently, he doesn’t like Sarkozy.
Any comment, SuperFrenchie?

Many thanks for the link to “Cabbage-Head” – he’s great!
As for Kermit… it looks more, t’me mate, like a bottle o’Guiness (and i know one when i see one).
You mean, other than “you’re a racist idiot”?
That’s really all the commenting it’s worth.
SF: No, that’s about what I expected — thanks for your entertaining contribution!
While I’m at it: on the front page of your own blog I notice no less than four pics of frogs, and I read on your About page that you don’t accept words like “idiot” in your comments. Are we talking double standards here?
Romke: My friend Hasaan, who’s black, calls himself a “nigga”.
I don’t advise you do the same in his presence.
Yes, it’s double standards. Intent is key. At the beginning of reading your blog, I was unsure of your intentions and motives. Your constant harping on the superiority of everything anglo-saxon and your cultish admiration for anything published by Francophobe in chief Ruppert Murdoch have left me with little doubts.
We’ve had the same conversation recently at sf.com about the word “chimpie”. OK to use it for Bush, not OK to use it for Obama. Very different context and intentions.
As for not accepting the word “idiot” in my blog’s comments, yes, it’s part of the rules. I wouldn’t use the word against you if you were to post over there, although I might ban you if you were to post the same racist stuff as you do here. If it were the rule in your blog, I would also respect it. I have read no such rule here (Probably because it ain’t worth making up rules for the 3 or 4 of us that ever leave comments…)
PS: Gainsbourg died almost 20 years ago. Apart from real dead, I don’t know what’s still real about him.
To superfrenchie
From a real Frenchie who albeit would not dare calling her super !
Depuis quand t’as perdu ton sens de la dérision???
/since when did you lost your sense for derision?
It s a bit of a shame as I think that s one of our main capacity, now if we begin to lose that too!
Lucie, you’re spot on (and so are many other Frenchies who don’t feel like SF)
Lucie: Not sure. I’ll check the lost and found section.
Seriously, when I visit racist sites I tend to check my sense of derision at the door. Racism ain’t funny. At least I don’t think it is.
Superfrenchie is correct – He shouldn’t be called a ‘frog’.
‘Jackass’ is more appropriate.
SF: In the past two weeks you’ve called me (in summary) a “clinically obsessed contemptuous complete moron and racist idiot”. If you said that to me in my face with a few witnesses and a lawyer present you would be in jail by now. So please shut the fuck up, and go play elsewhere.
Yeah well, I’m rather outspoken against bigotry. And I don’t intend to stfu.
Romke: you asked for it when you invited “any comments” from SF!
SF: France is a great place with real cool people and a wonderful sense of humour but a few have a “grand défaut”, like yourself… they THINK too God-damned much and their favorite pass time is running around in circles (at least they are moving, one could say).
And when i refer to Gainsbourg in the present tense, i think its clear to anyone, that he is still alive via what he’s left us.
Lucie: gros bisous
Fernadez: Claro que si
Now, how about a round o’Guiness everyone! SF, you can come too, and bring Hasaan as well.
Guinness? Sorry, but I’ll go stereotypical and order red wine. And for Hasaan, it’s always Grand Marnier.
Romke could always go with a cold Surrender Monkey one: (superfrenchie.com/?p=1022 – add the http)
OMG: I also drink only red wine. Do I really have something in common with SF? Anyway, welcome at my place but BYO!
To Superfrenchie
Answering to: “PS: Gainsbourg died almost 20 years ago. Apart from real dead, I don’t know what’s still real about him. ”
You don’t accept the word “idiot” on your blog!
That’s true you need a far worse word than that:
- First Serge Gainsbourg died 17 years ago not 20 (that’s was 1991, I was there) Please if we play that game be precise…
- Then, you can ask a lot of people, not only from France, what he left behind him (the spirit, the artistic trends and followers that you sound like withdrawing saying what you say).
Being French I am ashamed if Superfrenchie is really French…
Now I leave you can rule, naming the word which would be better than “idiot”
Dble: the reason I mentioned that Gainsbourg died “almost” 20 years ago is because this blog uses almost exclusively dead people and serious has-beens to illustrate its dubious point that all “frogs” smoke. Look at the “frogmokers” on the rolling top banner and tell me the percentage of those who are 1. still alive (artistically as well as physically) and 2. still smoke. I mean, Django Reinhardt is in there: he died in the early 50′s. Plus, he was Belgian!
As far as insulting me, go ahead and have at it. I have run an anti-French bashing blog in seriously French-bashing America for more than 3 years and I have thick skin. What I go after is not people that insult me, it’s people that insult my family, my children, my parents, my ancestors, etc… “Frog” is a racial slur, meant to lower you to the level of an animal. Calling people animal names is and has always been the basic modus operandi of racists everywhere: monkeys, chicken, weasels, etc… Using questionable, outdated stereotypes is the next step. “Frogsmoke” manages to do all that in one step.
Sorry to have brought shame on you by arguing against racial slurs. The upside is that the likes of Bill O’Reilly and Ruppert Murdoch must be proud of you.
Actually I think Frogs are really cute :-p
So are most monkeys.
