However, the ASA's PR person needs a good editor. The writing is awful. As to stereotype - what the hell. If it makes people happy to imagine all Frenchmen eating frogs legs, all Germans downing beer, all Swiss counting money, all Swedish women to be the incarnation of some northern goddess, all Gypsies driving Mercedes with their ill gotten gains - indeed all Irish staggering around in the midst of them all - why not?This "foreigner" has lived abroad for many a year, and amusement is mine. U PS The really sweet part of your entry that only ONE person complained. Tells yet another story, don't you think?
