Two gentlemen just came to my house to interview me in French for Radio Suisse Romande (Swiss National Public Radio). You can guess the subjects – the USA, Europe, the War on Terror and… most especially… Team America. For those of you who are Francophone and want to make fun of my rusty (to put it mildy) French, I will post the Internet broadcast times later.

Oct 18, 2004 - 5:53 pm 5. John Bono:OK, now how about a translation for those of us who don’t know the international language of capitulation?
Oct 18, 2004 - 6:55 pm 6. Frederick:John Bono: The native language of Jacques Derrida and Johnny Hallyday is so rich and subtle that you can always just supply your own meaning.
Oct 18, 2004 - 7:31 pm 7. richard mcenroe:Well, apparently I don’t either, but roughly:
French interviewer: What’s with Team America?
Roger: The Eiffel Tower — Boom! The Arc de Triomphe — Boom! many dead Germans there. The Louvre รณ Boom! Down with the artsy phonies!
Oct 18, 2004 - 8:16 pm 8. docweasel:I think a lot of reviewers are getting team America completely wrong. That’s my opinion, anyway. I think its totally ripping the left wing peaceniks, while depicting Americans as bumbling and violent, but essentially good hearted and actually right on facts. Note that no conservative icon is represented in the movie but plenty of lefties are: Jennings, Mooore, Blix, verious activist actors. Even movie critics?
