The comments are not kind to our French friends
"well i know this is going against what the site's "rules" are, but i can't stand most french people anyway. the ones in canada are d***s, and the ones in France don't seem to be any better...i know that this is just stereotyping them, but stereotypes don't come from nothing."
"looks like someone went out of their way for the french AGAIN, when will we learn that they are ungrateful bastards....I wanna slit their throats and f*** their wombs, push my face in and.....u kno the rest"
"f*** the french. there french ladies have hairy armpits."
"Ahh well,Frenchies are known around the world for being the biggest p***ies.So coming from them,its not that bad.Its laughable."
"sucks that the french are retarded oh well screw them"
