PARIS, France (AP) -- The ace of spades? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld gets the honor in a new French deck of cards. President Bush is the king of diamonds and Osama bin Laden the joker.

d'oh...those damn french....

Russians

and the damn Russians...

 

[conjur]

wow...so original, so funny.

I'm laughing so hard it's almost impossible to type.

Stupid French.

 

[dnuggett]

The peopel who came up with the cards are a bunch of French lazy suckass asshats.

 

[StageLeft]

I find the deck rather offensive in its brash stupidity.

People will do anything for a quick buck and their 15 minutes of fame.

I looked under French and didn't get anything - just some posts about dialects and stuff...


The Russian deck technically isn't a repost

Unless I'm missnig something the russian one seems to be done in jest almost, whereas the french one is clearly meant insultingly.

Ah, the French and the Russians are trying to be clever again. That typically never works out well for them. I will say I'm surprised at the French. You'd think they'd have a slightly better sense of humor. You'd think they'd have to after being the the worlds b!tch for so long. You could go a little crazy in that situation without being able to laugh at yourself.

In the decks, which are selling out in Moscow, Bush's father, former President George Bush, is the ace of hearts, while Federal Reserve (news - web sites) Chairman Alan Greenspan (news - web sites) is the ace of spades.

At least the Russians know who has the power in this country!

We'll have to make some of them, then they will back down

this is in revenge for your elected politicians doing their patriotic duty by renaming fried potatoes and toast a couple of months ago

I wouldn't take this seriously. The guy who came up with this deck is the same french crackpot who wrote "9-11: The Big Lie". The French best-seller that claimed that no plane ever crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, and that the attacks were plotted by a faction within the U.S. military.

True....he's pretty far out there...

Can't take your own medicine?

 

[eakers]

i need to buy these for my bf.

edit: and if you are offended by these maybe you should take what your country is doing into consideration.

"yeeeeeeeeeeeee-haw lets go blow some stuff up"

 

[Wuffsunie]

LOL!! Too cool. Will make nice companion decks for the "Offical" american one. Gotta get

 

[dquan97]

I find it offensive that the author claims 9-11 never happened and that it was all planned. Kind of like telling the Jews that the Holocaust never happened.

 

[Nitemare]

and The Ace of Spades is Speedstick

 

[AMCRambler]

That Messahn guy sounds like an idiot to me. He's only sold 2500 decks according to the article though. Sounds like the French people realize an idiot when they see one and spend their money on better things.

 

[The Sauce]

I'll enlist if I get to bomb France.

 

[NFS4]

Why the &$^@ is everyone so pissed? Americans piss on the French all the time, then when they turn the tables it's not fun anymore.

Bunch of pansies
