I thought my fellow freepers would like this. I was just on another forum where a guy in france posted some screengrabs from CNN. I'll attach his comments.

Apparently, alarmed by the riots, we have decided to move our towns.
Apparently Paris moved 150 km east.
Lyon moves form its previous situation aside the alps to south of Massif Central
Toulouse decided that being on the Altantic shore was no good (too close to the USA, i guess) and move east to become a italian alpine city.
The mayor of Stasbourg was more careful. he chose his town to stop being in France and moved it in southern Germany.
the guy at CNN must have spent some time in Rennes since apparently it's the only town roughly at the good place.
Granted, if you slapped down an outline of france and asked me to pin the tail on the city, I couldn't do any better, but then I'm not a proffesional newscaster.

Dude, that's CNN after all! Actually, merely displacing towns is an improvement for them... they've been known to displace whole countries on occasions! Look what they did to the Czech Republic...
Poor old Prague used to be a nice city, before CNN dropped Bern on it.
I believe you.
Good ol' panty-waisted Carter. He was a close to a French Socialist as we have ever had in government.
Toulouse is not on the Atlantic, it is in central southern France, directly north of Andorra.
The Gallup organization noted that public trust in television news and newspapers reached an all-time low this year . . .

The mixup between the Czech Republic and Switzerland is understandable. There's a Brno in the Czech Republic and a Bern in Switzerland.
ROFL!
That is just too funny to let it not be repeated!!! Cheers...

Why do they need an accurate map, when they don't want to report this story in the first place?
CNN
President Bush has authorized the Joint Chiefs to begin drawing up a battle plan to pull France's ass out of the fire again.
Facing an apparent overwhelming force of up to 400 pissed off teenagers Mr. Bush doubts France's ability to hold off the little pissants.
"Hell, if the last two world wars are any indication, I would expect France to surrender any day now", said Bush.
Joint Chiefs head, Gen. Peter Pace, warned the President that it might be necessary to send up to 5 Marines to get things under control.
The general admitted that 5 Marines may be overkill but he wanted to get this thing under control within 24 hours of arriving on scene.
He stated he was having a hard time finding even one Marine to help those ungrateful bastards out for a third time but thought that he could persuade a few women marines to do the job before they went on pregnancy leave.
President Bush asked Gen. Pace to get our marines out of there as soon as possible after order was restored.
He also reminded Gen. Pace to make sure the Marines did not take soap, razors, or deodorant with them.
The less they stand out the better.
I don't think it's real.
Anyone can photoshop something with the CNN logo.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I agree.
LOL
ROTFLMAO!!!
