Check out this email I got from International House of Pancakes on the subject of "French Toast"

Dear XXXX.XXXXXX:

Thank you for taking the time to contact IHOP with your comments. We do not intend to send any political message with our commercials, rather we are simply inviting guests in for a great new product that has been in development for months. French Toast has existed for hundreds of years and while the origin is debated, our understanding is that it was invented near Albany, New York by Joseph French, thus the name. All of the ingredients used in preparation are purchased from American companies if that helps to alleviate any of your concerns. We do appreciate your concerns and thank you for sharing them.

Sincerely,

Patrick Lenow Director, Public Relations

<<< My email to IHOP >>>

To Whom it May Concern,

I think your company is missing the boat.

All around the country, restaraunts are replacing "French" with "Freedom" in their menus. You've just introduced a tasty item called "stuffed french toast", and I think you would benefit by considering a similar name change.

Since "Freedom" is more American than just about anything "French", you would be on to something. Even if "International" is your first name.

I say we send them a statue of "french" liberty for all their help. The statue should be a 600 foot unshaved female arm pit connected to a hand waving only one finger.

Perhaps Bastille Day should be re-named Bast**d Day.

Seriously though, I am going to miss my brie.

C'est la guerre!

I don think this boycotting is going to be much. I hear lots of counties are boycotting american goods, including the arab countries.

You can wait until they announce the next balance of trade numbers, but I will bet you that we will show a deficit in our trade.
