Shocked, I tell ‘ya!

It may come as no surprise to the rest of the world.

But the French were aghast last night after their own study found they were regarded as arrogant.

French statesmen could do with a dose of modesty rather than lecturing other nations on human rights, the report commissioned by president Nicolas Sarkozy said.

According to the report, the French have no idea how the rest of the world views them.

“As surprising as it may seem, while our country is emerging from a long period of self-doubt and has under-estimated itself as a ‘medium’ power, it continues to be perceived as ‘arrogant’ in much of the world,” wrote the report’s author, former Socialist foreign minister Hubert Vedrine.

Some of that may have to do with its history and its urge to preach the values of the French Revolution, he said.

Wahahahahahahaha!
