Plum Crazy

You know, if they bring this idea to the U.S., maybe I could get 36 hours with Mikey in tow, which would allow me to practice my battle cry (see below).

French families are to eat, sleep, work and play with their own live-in politician in a new reality TV show that triggered controversy Thursday even before its first airing in October.

Seeking to narrow the gap between the French and their often remote political rulers, "36 Hours" will follow a volunteer for nearly two days as they go about their usual lives with a top politician in tow.

But my favorite part of the article indicates a blow to the French sense of superiority.

To the dismay of the country's intelligentsia, the French have lapped up a succession of reality shows. Formats have included women battling to seduce a young millionaire and the trials and tribulations of life at an academy for young singers.

BTW, what's the difference between the British and the French? The British only think they're better than everyone else. The French know it for a fact.

And while we're on the subject of French jokes, warning - sick humor ahead. Do not click on the link below if you don't like tasteless humor and/or think that tasteless humor is an indication of the same kind of mindset the Nazis had (and one of you knows who you are). Proceed at your own risk.
