Merde on France?

The BBC refused to air these anti-French jokes:

    “What do you call a Frenchman advancing on Baghdad?”
    “A salesman”;

    “What is the difference between a road accident involving a hedgehog and a Frenchman?”
    “There are skid marks before the hedgehog”;

    “What do you call 20 French politicans face down in the English Channel?”
    “A start.”

Could they have felt the jokes would upset the sensitivities of our gallant allies, the Frogs? How dumb can you get?

They are a noble people
They are a noble race
They fight with their feet
and . . . with their face.

They probably just thought they were recycled lawyer jokes (the last two certainly are) and thus not particularly funny. I did like the first one, though.
