Dear France,
I am so sorry.
Bisous, Anne

About Me
For a long time, we were just another typical Washington, DC family: two policy-oriented jobs, two kids, and two cars. Out of the blue, my husband got a new assignment; we ditched the old jobs and the cars (but kept the kids) and headed to Paris for what started out to be a three-year, and eventually became a four-year tour.

I cringe whenever I see one of the Jersey Shore advertisements in the metro and wonder why we can't export something better than Snookie and her friends.
I heard that Rutgers paid Snookie more to speak there than they paid Toni Morrison. Embarrassing. Another embarrassment for the U.S. -- the Kardashians. When I was protesting the bill that will take away collective bargaining rights for teachers, I made a sign: Kim Kardashian made $6 million dollars last year. What's she teaching your children?
Ugh!
I saw this the other day and I was so upset I did not have my camera with me!!!
All I can say is WOW!!!
On the other hand, the French probably love it.
Oh good grief
Oh dear. All of America apologizes. Some of us twice.
I'm ashamed to confess I actually watch Jersey Shore... it's kinda my guilty TV pleasure. Please don't judge me ;-)
I'm afraid the French will like it. The Europeans seem to like 'trashy' american tv reality shows. I'm not French, I'm Polish and I know these shows are popular in Poland. Nothing to apologize for, though, the French paid to get the show...no one pushed it on them. Oh well, can't talk about taste, I guess :)
