And don't forget it you frogs! If it wasn't for us, you'd be paying for those illegal iPods with German Marks instead of Francs.

You lay down for Hitler, Kadafi, and Saddam but stand up to Apple computer? Please... Grow a backbone! :eek:

France has only introduced three major exports to the international market that are worth noting.

1. Jean Reno
2. Cheese with mold already in it
3. The unconditional surrender

The French Franc could have been on that list if it hadn't surrendered to the Euro last year.

Stupid Frogs. And if it wasn't for the U.S. they'd all be speaking German right now, from WW I *AND* WW II. They're such a weak country.

French wine is quite tasty, though....and the cuisine too, mmm, now I'm getting hungry.....and if you realize the potential here, you could go buy a bunch of iPods and smuggle them into France and make some money.... ;)

First off everyone should get off of the French hating unless you live in France and this really affects you in anyway, secondly this is not a new health regulation over there and Apple should of been (and was) aware of it before they released the iPod overseas and should have forseen this, but they are releasing a new firmware update to remedy the situation soon. My only question about it is what would the penalties be for both owning an illegal iPod (or any other portable device) and for selling the illegal ones? Once they get the update though it wont really matter.

They built it, but it was supposed to be a Trojan Horse. They just forgot to fill it with soldiers. :p

Yes, this definitely has gotten out of hand. I presume this thread is dead. ;)
