Are the French nutz?!

so I am listening to NPR talking about the Olympic Torch in Paris and all the trials and tribulations the torch bearers were encountering protesters .........and the commentator/news presenter in all seriosness spoke asertively about "French Police on ROLLERBLADES....."!!!! having been to paris and seeing the way that the drivers treat the road there (Princess Di being run down tragically there is not so great a stretch once you have suffered the ministrations of a Parisian Sky Cabby) I know that putting the police on rollerblades is merely the first step in creating a new chapter in the Grand Theft Auto franchise where participants are instructed to pick off as many of the parisian constabulary as their citron will allow them to. And if French men's dancing ability is any indication....the police might just as well start playing russian roulette with guns fitted out the 6 bullets in the chamber...it'd be more merciful that way at least!

my 2 cents

They're French. It might be stupid, but they look good doing it :-)

Only the French would think that cops on rollerblades is a "good idea". Oy Vey!

Tomasso, I would, but if you have ever seen french men attempt dancing you'd know why such a thing would be ill-advised even without the addition of rollerbaldes!...LOL
