The Olympic torch relay met a very unceremonious end as it traveled through Paris on Monday.
In what seems to be a rivalry for the ages, France refused to be outdone by the recent protests during the U.K. portion of the relay in London - not only by having a protest of their own, but by completely outshining the British protest.
It is unclear if the protesters were aware of an actual cause or if they were "just trying to get a light". Most seemed oblivious to the plight of the Tibetans and to the fact that they even existed. Not surprising when one factors in the complete lack of trade between France and Tibet. French wines are almost nonexistent in the Himalayas. The complete lack of aesthetic sense has left the fashion houses of Paris dumbfounded. And the Buddhist monks in the region are incredibly frugal when purchasing firearms.
Of course, those Parisians who were somewhat aware of the situation in the region met the issues in the true style of the Republic - with "liberty, equality, fraternity", suggesting that if things were unable to be resolved the Tibetans could be relocated to the suburbs of Paris. And just like the North Africans who reside there now, they could still not be French in several generations. Vive La France!
