Don't know if any of you were following the no votes to the European constituion an invasion of polish plumbers taking over jobs in France. So the Poles decided to find a post card perfect plumber to attract tourist to their country. Check it out:

Makes you want to see 'plumbers crack' now doesnt it!

Wow...I think I have a sudden plumbing problem.

There's a duplicate thread on this one.

I think we should make suggestions for the states that want to sex-up their mottos.

How about this one: Jersey Fresh

According to the article, the "Polish plumber" scare tactic was started by a stupid RIGHT-WING politician, Dominique de Villiers, which isn't surprising. It's not like EVERYONE in France believes this nonsense. The French nutcase Right is against every type of immigrant, except, I imagine, Germans.

And leave New Jersey alone!

Too late! I've already screwed around with New Jersey more than Donald Trump. But unlike Donald I gave as much as I got.

And the French are becoming more than a little xenophobic of late - witness the decline of Chirac based largely on the fear of the European Union accepting Turkey into the fold. Now back to my fantasy about "Villepin et le plombier"....

Ah the French are not becoming they have always had their share of Xenophobes. Nor are they alone. Many other European countries as well. I love Europe but I guess it is human nature to always think you are better than your neighbor. Still I love how the Poles, instead of being outraged, made of joke of it.
