    Le Cliche

    So the French are sexually liberated and enjoy getting it on more than Americans? Gee, where have I heard that before. Maybe every movie made about France for at least the past fifty years.

    Seriously, this hoary theory is so old and tired that if it was a penis it would need a Viagra just to achieve mild tumescence. I suppose your next headline will be "Jerry Lewis: Beloved in France".
