Only the French (hat tip Lady Quixote)
According to Fox News, the French government's tourist office is a bit concerned about the loss in American tourism revenue.
French tourist board spokeswoman Louise O'Brien said preliminary statistics show a 15 percent drop in American tourists heading there for the first quarter of 2003, compared to the same period a year before.
Fifteen percent does not sound like a lot to me, but then again tourism was already down in 2002 from previous years because people were afraid of flying after 9/11. At any rate, the French are getting worried and have created a video starring several Americans which encourages people to visit France.
[Woody] Allen pitches the land of wine, cheese and berets in a video produced by the French government's tourist office touting that nation to travel journalists. "The United States and France have been great friends and great, great allies going back many, many years," Allen says in the video titled France: Let's Fall in Love Again.
As my wife said, Only the French would want an incestuous pedophile for a spokesman.
