France is illogical...
The Enlightenment: L'age des Lumières. France: Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire. The power of reason and rational thought process, the triumph of knowledge and intellectual progress over traditional religious imperatives.
France is referred to as one of the founding pillars of the Enlightenment era: logic reigned supreme. Key word being reigned.
Yesterday's post was a first example of how logic has been literally thrown out the proverbial fenêtre in France. I gots anuvva one for youse. Behold, illogicality (trust me, the word exists), French style.
There's currently an ad for this month's Elle France magazine being displayed in the metro. On the left hand of the cover, the following is proudly stated:
50 ways to look beautiful and feel comfortable at any age.
On the RIGHT hand side of the cover, merely centimetres away from the first statement, is plastered the following:
110 ways to look and feel younger.
Uhm. What??
France sucks.
(France's redeeming quality: the President just married a chick he's known for 11 weeks. Yeehah! Love it.)
