While there is, in fact, no place in France where the ladies wear no underpants, there is a place where the French police use Linux. These porcs have moved from XP to a version of Ubuntu. They’ve already moved from Internet Explorer and Office, using Le Open Office and Le Mozilla, and the migration should be complete in a few years, provided they don’t strike, have to visit their mistresses, or remain startlingly thin and healthy on a diet of chocolate, Gauloises, and butter.

  • At least in France, we have still the luxury of being able to make fun of our own police/military or accepting that others do without the risk of being labeled as unpatriotic or some other crap.

    Inspecteur Clouzeau rocks!

  • To quote Darrell Hammond, “That’s big talk from a country whose only contributions to world culture in the last 50 years are Gerard Depardieu and that horny skunk.”

  • Someone sounds a little jealous of the frenchies. Eh John?

  • hope other coUntries learn and do the same then people will see how great ubuntu is then install it in their home computers and the world will soon go open source…
