Michael Jackson was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at Saturday's NRJ Awards in France. He wasn't present to accept the award, but sent a video to say thank you to all of his French "friends." Michael actually looks good (relatively speaking), and talks about his upcoming "Thriller" anniversary album.
Britney Spears's latest album "Blackout" won International Album of the Year. Brit's work won over Amy Winehouse, James Blunt, Mika, and Rihanna.
Britney was apparently too sick (in a good way!) or too busy browsing the aisles at Rite-Aid to drag Adnan to Cannes to accept the award. Perhaps she was upset NRJ didn't ask her to perform this year -- giving the rest of the world a reason to thank the French.

Seriously? Britney's over-produced shit album won over ... anything else???? As an english-Canadian, I already have issues with the french but.... Jesus God. Have you heard Springsteen's new album? Or The White Stripes? Ok, I'm throwing it all down and saying that even fucking Fall Out Boy probably sweated over their album a little more than Britney's phone-it-in album.
Ugh, now I'm all worked up. That's excuse enough for another glass of red, right? Not listening, getting another glass anyways.

The French are so fucking dumb.

"The French are so fucking dumb."
Can't help doing some french bashing, hah?
It might be fun bashing someone else, though, for a change.
Let's try!
Hmm... let me see...
"The Americans are so fucking disgustingly obese"
C'est vrai, you're right! IT IS FUN!!!!

I bet it would take 'C'est Vrai' at least 20 minutes to find France on a map.
Maggie McAdams says:
Wow you might have met sooo many french people to hate us like that... And just for you to know the "NRJ Music Award" does't represent anything but the 13-15 years old opinion... Obviously you don't know a damn thing about the France or french people! Don't mix up everything and don't be so narrow minded, it could be a start.
C'est vrai says:
See? I rest my case. The French are not just FUCKING DUMB, but pissy and defensive to boot. I suppose I can't blame them too much for that. After all, it does make sense. They know they live in a dying country. They know they offer little or nothing of substance to the rest of the world. They know their president is a wanton slut who can only think with his cock.
They are right to feel small, angry and defensive.
This blinding sense of their own insignificance is why they are freely handing their country over to the Muslims. They inwardly believe that they deserve to be dominated by the enemy. Give them half a decade. They will be BEGGING for sharia law and they will say "merci" when their heads are removed by rusty machetes. That's just how FUCKING DUMB they truly are.
I lived in the VI arrondissement for over three years. Right next to the Luco. I can find my old neighborhood on a map with my eyes closed. I had a beautiful view of the gardens. I love Paris. I love France but I know enough about it to know that, unfortunately, it's a beautiful country full of people who are SO FUCKING DUMB. I've never been fat. Sorry! Yes, it's true that many people in this country are obese but only a FUCKING DUMB FROG would imagine that this fact would make HER any LESS dumb.

Now, Children, if you can't play nicely together you can all go to your rooms.
You are all wasting your time getting racist and ridiculous. If you wanna get all steamed up and hurl violent insults you should launch into Ms Minogue's fashion choice. For the love of Gawd!!!! Sacre Bleu, in fact --- it's gotta be one of the fugliest creations that has ever burned my retinas.
green cardigan says:
C'est vrai - I am sure the French were sorry to see you leave. Allez les bleus.
