That’s honestly the most French thing I’ve heard in a while. Not because of the war memorial but because of the cigarette
I definitely interpreted this title as someone lighting a 110-year-old cigarette.
Me, too. I had a whole internal discussion about which scenario would be more stereotypically French…
Life imitates art:
Dale Gribbel, savior of the sacred flame.
I quit smoking over a decade ago, but if I had the opportunity to light a cigarette from the Olympic torch…I’d take it. Probably also use that cigarette to light the pilot lights on my water heater and then all my showers would be heated by the Olympic flame (technically speaking).
There’s a genocide going on, we have thousands upon thousands of homeless people, the world is heading to a climate catastrophy, but let’s be outraged by someone lightning a cigarette with the flame of a war memorial.
People dying of hunger because of politics, capitalism and violence, it’s none of our business. But that man lighting his cigarette, what a fucking outrage!
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
Disappointment = Expectations - Reality
You can only really control one of those 2 factors regarding global events.
speak for yourself, my farts have gotten ecological laws passed
I’m not going to lie to you I don’t see the connection.
I like to disrespect authority like the next punk but disrespecting war memorials is fucking disgusting. I would have liked to punch that fucker. And smash his fucking cigarette.
Fair, but did we need a news article about it?
