It's always entertaining to see just how provincial some cosmopolitan sophisticates can show themselves to be, isn't it?

I wrote about this sort of parachute journalism chez les francais a little while back. I found this melange of stereotypes particularly entertaining (hypersexual puritains who are highly consumerist). It's a real work of art that they managed to get everything worked into one piece like this and still makes me giggle when I look back on it.

Seeing as how I'm an ignorant Texan from the sticks, I don't understand words like 'chez' and 'francais'...could you dumb it down a bit?...

Ne me deçois pas maintenant. I have too much regard for you...
