No. I've never been French. But I do like their salad dressing.
Oh, never mind... I like Jerry Lewis, ok?

I think I'm just hoping Al keeps dissing the Frenchies.
But....he wasn't dissing the....I mean, it's about how cultures adore.....aw, never mind.
But anyway, up until recently when it took on a whole new and unjustified meaning, making fun of the French was a comedy standby, and Al has done songs about similar cliches in the past (women drivers, mimes, lecturing old-timers, and of course, the Amish).
This was just a mix of unlucky timing and listener ignorance. I hope this doesn't dissuade Al from doing other gentle ethnic jokes in the future, but unfortunately even if he did a song making fun of Atlantis, there would be someone saying, "Hah! He really nailed those fishy water-lovin' creeps!"

It's worse than that-- they'd be wondering what Al has against people from Atlanta, GA. You know, kind of a companion piece to "A Complicated Song."
