L'imprimante que j'ai acheté ne fonctionne pas si les cartouches couleurs sont vides, même pour imprimer en noir. Comme je n'avais pas vraiment le temps d'aller en acheter (le magazin est assez loin) je les ai commandé par Internet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quand je suis rentré de Barcelone, j'avais un avis de la poste qu'un colis m'attendait. Je prends ma douche, me lave les dents, me rase même, je me fais beau pour aller chercher mon colis... et pour aller travailler ensuite. En ligne à la poste, je revis le cirque postal comme à chaque fois. La poste, en France et comme dans bien des pays, est aussi une banque. Sauf qu'évidement, ici, c'est compliqué et le service clientèle: inexistant. Il y a toujours une attente très longue. Il n'y a pas de comptoirs différents pour acheter un timbre ou pour envoyer un colis ou faire un retrait. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il n'y a que 2 comptoirs d'ouverts. Il n'y a que 2 comptoirs tout court. Je fais la file et j'observe. Une vieille dame veut faire un retrait. Pour faire un retrait, il faut faire un chèque. Ça prend la carte d'identité, etc. L'autre comptoir est occupé avec un type qui tente de retirer son colis. Mais oh malheur, le colis est au nom de son père. La dame lui explique, sèchement il faut le dire, que même si ils ont le même nom et la même adresse, ça prend une procuration avec deux pièces d'identité du père et sa carte d'identité à lui pour qu'il puisse retirer le colis. Le problème, c'est que son colis vient de son père qui n'est pas au pays. Alors comment faire signer une procuration et prendre les pièces d'identité de quelqu'un qui n'est pas là et qui de plus s'envoit un colis à lui-même ? Et pourquoi le père s'est-il adressé le colis à lui-même ? L'histoire ne le dit pas. Ça discute, ça demande l'avis d'un supérieur qui cite politique et procédure: c'est la totale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;N'ayant pas de pièce d'identité avec une adresse, je me dis que je ne réussirai jamais à retirer mon colis. Arrive mon tour, après une attente d'au moins 20 minutes. La dame prend mon carton, va chercher mon colis, me fait signer et hop je repars. Elle ne m'a jamais demandé de pièce d'identité... ce qui me fait dire que n'importe qui aurait pu retirer mon colis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trop, c'est comme pas assez.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8303690657271235540-2661181869981453352?l=antiherointernational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/feeds/2661181869981453352/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8303690657271235540&amp;postID=2661181869981453352' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/2661181869981453352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/2661181869981453352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/2008/03/la-poste.html' title='À la poste'/><author><name>Éric Shannon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13455152423201262438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2810/3882/1600/42140/avatar_pt.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303690657271235540.post-8357618347642599643</id><published>2008-03-21T11:04:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2008-03-21T19:30:17.932+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Les Français et l'anglais</title><content type='html'>Après le désormais célèbre:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Je ne savais pas où donner de la tête."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;traduit par&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I didn't know where to give head."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un copain me raconte que dans un cours un étudiant a traduit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was taken aback."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;par&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"J'ai été pris par derrière."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'est chouette la France !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;France is owl!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8303690657271235540-8357618347642599643?l=antiherointernational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/feeds/8357618347642599643/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8303690657271235540&amp;postID=8357618347642599643' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/8357618347642599643'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/8357618347642599643'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/2008/03/les-franais-et-langlais.html' title='Les Français et l&apos;anglais'/><author><name>Éric Shannon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13455152423201262438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2810/3882/1600/42140/avatar_pt.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303690657271235540.post-8233338096270349081</id><published>2008-02-07T18:19:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-02-11T17:03:34.324+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Mario Dumont en conférence sur l'immigration à Lyon 2</title><content type='html'>Meublé d'une bonne cinquantaine de personnes, le petit amphithéâtre de Lyon 2 était prêt à recevoir le chef de l'opposition officielle du gouvernement du Québec. Piqué de curiosité devant ce fait surréaliste et rempli de mauvaise foi, j'ai déplacé un cours d'anglais pour être au premier rang de cette rencontre que j'imaginais comme étant des plus bizarres. Pensez-y ! Dumont à Lyon ? Grave bizarre. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/R6tWjeDBvvI/AAAAAAAAALU/T2I1HZcsDHk/s1600-h/mario.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/R6tWjeDBvvI/AAAAAAAAALU/T2I1HZcsDHk/s320/mario.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164316565071576818" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Déçu. J'ai été déçu. Il n'a pas été à la hauteur. Secrètement, je me dis qu'il a dû être soudoyé par le ministère de l'immigration. V'là ti pas que Mario nous a fait une belle tite présentation du Québec en commençant par la révolution tranquille et la merveillosité Historique qu'est la modernisation du Québec. Fait étrange, il a prit la peine d'expliquer que le problème économique de la province venait du fait que les entreprises étaient aux mains des anglais, mais il n'a pas soufflé mot sur le fait que le pouvoir était au clergé et que la révolution tranquille était d'abord et avant tout une distance prise par le peuple vis à vis de la religion catholique afin de reprendre le pouvoir sur son existence. Ti-Mario a oublié de mentionner que le clergé profitait, voire soutenait, le régime de quasi-apartheid de la minorité anglophone sur la majorité francophone. C'est quand même un ti t'oubli assez important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il a étallé devant cette audience silencieuse la fulgurante montée de l'ADQ, sans jamais mentionner la période creuse du début des années 2000. Mais ça, on ne peut pas lui en vouloir. Qui oserait raconter ce désastre ? Notre bon Mario a donc raconté que le Québec s'était exprimé clairement au référendum de 1995 avec une majorité écrasante de 51%. Euh, 51% c'est pas mal la moitié et quand y'a juste 2 questions, je trouve pas ça trop écrasant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfin, Mario (qu'est-ce que j'aime ce prénom) nous a entretenu sur les problèmes d'immigration. Voilà. Il a fait état, assez gentiment, des problèmes d'intégration des immigrants au Québec. Ensuite, inculte qu'il peut être, il a fait la promotion du libéralisme économique en racontant à des Français que l'administration publique au Québec est devenu ingérable et lourde. Il a même donné l'exemple du système de santé avec un incroyable temps d'attente alors qu'en France, ça se passe beaucoup mieux. C'est certain, c'est un système bancal à 2 vitesses. C'est un truc débile qui perd les plus persistants dans des dédales administratifs qui renvoit les gens aux urgences pour demander des anti-dépresseurs. Ensuite, il nous raconte comment c'est difficile de se partir en affaire au Québec, parce qu'il y a trop de procédures administratives et de permis à demander. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mario, câlice ! T'as jamais vécu en France et ça paraît. L'administration française est un système de torture qui redéfini le concept de sadisme. Raconter à des Français que l'administration québécoise est lourde est tellement stupide que ça devrait être un thème aborder par les Bougons dans un épisode schizoïde. Comparé à quoi ? Au 12 travaux d'Astérix ? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alors, pensant que quelqu'un poserait la question, je me suis dit que je pourrais le faire avant. Juste parce que.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Monsieur Dumont, vous avez annoncé une conférence sur l'immigration et j'aimerais vous entendre sur ce sujet dans un premier temps. Par extension, j'aimerais savoir ce que vous pensez du projet de citoyenneté de Pauline Marois.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Ben, en fait, quelle est la capacité du Québec d'intégrer, avec les...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;À aucun moment il n'a offert de solutions, n'a fait de propositions, n'a même pas abordé, aussi mince aurait-elle été, une piste de solution. Évidement, en politicien, il a évité ma question sur le projet de citoyenneté de Marois. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Donc, je suis déçu parce qu'il a quand même montré qu'il maîtrisait bien les enjeux actuels de la province, mais il n'a absolument rien offert comme possible solution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mario, s'cuse-moi, mais j'pense que j'vas pas voter pour toi aux prochaines élections. Ben, comme d'habitude là.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8303690657271235540-8233338096270349081?l=antiherointernational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/feeds/8233338096270349081/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8303690657271235540&amp;postID=8233338096270349081' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/8233338096270349081'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/8233338096270349081'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/2008/02/mario-dumont-en-confrence-sur.html' title='Mario Dumont en conférence sur l&apos;immigration à Lyon 2'/><author><name>Éric Shannon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13455152423201262438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2810/3882/1600/42140/avatar_pt.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/R6tWjeDBvvI/AAAAAAAAALU/T2I1HZcsDHk/s72-c/mario.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303690657271235540.post-6378156490379570716</id><published>2008-02-06T14:10:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-02-06T14:15:24.286+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Paroles de vide</title><content type='html'>Un instant à côté de ton absence.

I'm feeling very frustrated these days. Without applying anywhere or sending my CV, I receive job offers on a regular basis. Sometimes 2 in the same week. Language schools see my ad for private classes and send me firm offers. But I don't have my papers yet, so I can't accept anything. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, I teach at home, giving private lessons. The frustrating part is that because students don't really have a contract with me (other than simple decency), they feel like they can cancel with 30 minutes notice, or better yet, they just don't show up. So I'm stuck at home with prepared lessons, waiting...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate this situation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To top it all off, Mario Dumont is giving a conference tomorrow... on immigration!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine that.

Espéranto is a language created in the late 19th century to facilitate communication in Europe. It never really caught on due to chauvinistic attitude toward one's language (I mean, most European countries wanted THEIR language to be learned by the others as most of them believed theirs was the best). English gained in popularity and appears to be the universal language on Earth, just take a look at all those sci-fi movies. The aliens always speak English! That's the extent of American imperialism: it goes all the way to outer-space! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, espéranto is rather easy and I already had my first online lesson. I also created Skimmy in order to keep me company. Skimmy is my South Park character and he will keep me company during my lessons. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/R4Otqdd-TSI/AAAAAAAAAK0/QFpCdPAW2NE/s1600-h/Skimmy.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/R4Otqdd-TSI/AAAAAAAAAK0/QFpCdPAW2NE/s320/Skimmy.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153153343618436386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know... he looks pitiful. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the link if you want to create your own &lt;a href="http://www.discretos.net/go-1143-fabrique-ton-personnage-de-south-park.html"&gt;South Park character&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8303690657271235540-1088532125823144258?l=antiherointernational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/feeds/1088532125823144258/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8303690657271235540&amp;postID=1088532125823144258' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/1088532125823144258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/1088532125823144258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/2008/01/skimmy-speaks-espranto.html' title='Skimmy speaks espéranto'/><author><name>Éric Shannon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13455152423201262438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2810/3882/1600/42140/avatar_pt.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/R4Otqdd-TSI/AAAAAAAAAK0/QFpCdPAW2NE/s72-c/Skimmy.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303690657271235540.post-1220260293480566438</id><published>2008-01-02T21:20:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-01-02T21:25:40.621+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Je suis dégouté...</title><content type='html'>Ce matin, en sortant de l'appart, j'ai vérifié ma boîte à lettres.

À mon retour... il n'était plus là. J'ai retrouvé l'emballage dans une poubelle de l'immeuble, éventré et vidé de son contenu. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On m'a volé un cadeau de noël ! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Après avoir fait une courte enquête, on s'est aperçu que notre clef ouvrait la boîte à lettres d'un voisin, et que donc, sa clef devait probablement ouvrir la nôtre aussi.

Dans la plupart des cas, l'intention n'était certainement pas d'être drôle ou méprisant. Mais ne possèdant que deux modes de réception, soit: second degré et je trouve des trucs tout-à-fait ordinaires comme étant une source d'hilarité inépuisable ou bien tel un puriste, le degré avant le premier, le brut, l'absence totale de subtilité et le résultat est que je me vexe quand mon voisin dans le métro éternue. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai décidé de noter quelques trucs et de les soumettre à mon blog, question de voir ce que vous en pensez. L'an dernier, le vainqueur était l'amant d'une amie qui avait déclaré que "l'important chez une femme, c'est qu'elle porte un joli pantalon", ex aequo avec Audrey qui demande désinvoltement: "Vous en connaissez, vous, des coiffeuses qui transendent ?" Difficile de rivaliser avec tant de sagesse. Toutefois, je crois que la mouture 2007 a beaucoup de potentiel. Ne vous vexez pas si vous reconnaissez une de vos paroles. Il n'y a pas de malice derrière, seulement un peu de coquinerie... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;N'hésitez pas à me donner votre opinion et surtout, à me soumettre vos délicieuses citations de l'année 2007 !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;À Dartilly, une banlieue cossue de Lyon, lors d'un repas d'anniversaire, et après une conversation légère, le fêté me demande:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"Vous apprenez le français depuis combien de temps ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alors que je travaillais encore à Taiwan, je voulais que Milan me rende visite. J'ai lancé aussi l'invitation à mon neveu, question de lui fournir une expérience intéressante. Voilà ce que son père m'a répondu:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"Timothé a suffisament voyagé, il est temps qu'il apprenne autre chose."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lors d'une rencontre d'affaire entre Josée et l'auteur de la citation qui tentait par tous les moyens de sauver sa peau et le maximum de fric:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"L'important ce n'est pas l'argent, c'est l'amitié."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au cours  d'une discussion politique avec des amis français d'origine:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"Le problème avec la France, c'est qu'on a pas colonisé les bons pays. On voulait de la main d'oeuvre, on les a aidé, mais on a pas colonisé les bons pays et maintenant on a des problèmes.&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lors d'une discussion sur le film This is England, qui traite du mouvement Skinhead:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"I didn't know that Skinhead was a political movement. In France, it was only about fashion."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans la traduction d'un devoir de français en anglais, un de mes étudiants a écrit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"Je ne savais pas où donner de la tête". Et il a traduit: "I didn't know where to give head."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Afin qu'il le remette à son prof de lycée, j'ai corrigé son devoir, sauf cet accident savoureux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lors d'une procédure administrative à la française (au point où Kafka doit vouloir sortir de sa tombe pour écrire un autre roman qui témoigne de la catastrophe administrative qu'est la France) afin d'obtenir mes papiers de séjour, la greffière en chef avait été avisé qu'un canadien se présenterait. Durant la rencontre:&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Nous savons tous qu'il y a un manque de fonctionaire en France !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;À la sortie de son bureau, un couple noir est dans la salle d'attente:&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Eh ben ! C'est la journée des étrangers aujourd'hui !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au téléphone, alors que j'essaie de régler un problème avec Électricité de France, la dame veut me mettre en attente et me dit:&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ne quittez pas, je vous reprend tout de suite par derrière.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;Que dire de plus?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durant un repas où la discussion portait sur la pornongraphie:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;C'est tous des malades ceux qui regardent la porno !&lt;/span&gt;" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et son copain de répondre:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;C'est certain. Je suis le seul à avoir découvert mon zizi à 14 ans et à consommer de la porno. La porno a été inventé pour moi et c'est moi seul qui soutient l'industrie !&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette dernière m'a été rapportée. Lors d'un voyage en Italie, des amis visitent une église. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"C'est qui le mec sur la croix ?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alors ?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8303690657271235540-2693006297038572804?l=antiherointernational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/feeds/2693006297038572804/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8303690657271235540&amp;postID=2693006297038572804' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/2693006297038572804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/2693006297038572804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/2007/10/les-citations-de-lanne.html' title='Les citations de l&apos;année'/><author><name>Éric Shannon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13455152423201262438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2810/3882/1600/42140/avatar_pt.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303690657271235540.post-5571331483204398837</id><published>2007-12-31T17:22:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-01-01T19:15:19.190+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Long live American education and Miss South Carolina!</title><content type='html'>Most of you have probably seen this on YouTube, only I can't help myself and must participate in the propagation of this clip.

Environ 4 millions de personnes envahissent la ville pour célébrer une fête anciennement religieuse désormais paienne. La population de Lyon étant environ 1,5 million et relativement homogène, ça fait toute une différence de voir autant de gens dans les rues et d'entendre tant de langues diverses. J'ai même surpris un groupe de québécois, chose rare dans cette contrée.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En hommage à la vierge Marie qui aurait protégé Lyon contre la peste, la ville a fait érigé en 1852 une statue sur la chapelle de la colline de Fourvière. Le 8 décembre, jour de l'inauguration, un violent orage s'abat sur la ville et les officiels décident d'annuler les festivités pour les remettre au dimanche suivant. Mais le ciel se dégage et la population ayant tant attendu ce moment, illumine ses fenêtres et sort dans les rues, lampions à la main. De là vient cette tradition qui transforme la ville pendant quelques jours à chaque année.

Gentle and soft spoken, he managed to keep the gaze of 70 spectators at Grrnd Zero salon on Tuesday night. Inspired and influenced by a trip to India, his lyrics and music are spiritual, deep and tinted with humanist kindness. Daniel Higgs is a Prince among men, in the capitalist barbarian society we evolve in. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out one his &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY3WV80eicI"&gt;clip&lt;/a&gt; on YouTube. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday night, arriving from Spain, François and Jub picked him up at the bus stop and had a Tandoori with him on rue de Marseille (at a place I have nicknamed Godot because of the unbelievable slowness of the service) before walking back to our place where he spent the night on our living room floor. Tuesday morning breakfast was nice and enjoyable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've grown tired of going to concerts. My back hurts for standing up, it always starts much later than advertised, people still smoke... when the concert starts, I'm usually so fed up by that time that I either don't enjoy it or simply leave. This time, I quietly sat behind Hughes, listened and loved it. Higgs is a charismatic man with a powerful emotional voice. He seems to be on a path to inner peace and his music reflects every bit of his thoughts in its complexity and accessibility. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/R1vYuGj4Y5I/AAAAAAAAAGE/k3Vri-7EQPY/s1600-h/dhiggs.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/R1vYuGj4Y5I/AAAAAAAAAGE/k3Vri-7EQPY/s320/dhiggs.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141941686120244114" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/R1vYuWj4Y6I/AAAAAAAAAGM/zHEVbDTGjS4/s1600-h/higgs.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/R1vYuWj4Y6I/AAAAAAAAAGM/zHEVbDTGjS4/s320/higgs.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141941690415211426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Live long and prosper Mr. Higgs.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8303690657271235540-4416528640169200644?l=antiherointernational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/feeds/4416528640169200644/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8303690657271235540&amp;postID=4416528640169200644' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/4416528640169200644'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/4416528640169200644'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/2007/11/dan-higgs-from-grrnd-zero-salon-to-my.html' title='Dan Higgs: from Grrnd Zero Salon to my salon floor'/><author><name>Éric Shannon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13455152423201262438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2810/3882/1600/42140/avatar_pt.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/R1vYuGj4Y5I/AAAAAAAAAGE/k3Vri-7EQPY/s72-c/dhiggs.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303690657271235540.post-7366511485070606051</id><published>2007-10-14T20:51:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-10-14T21:02:56.503+02:00</updated><title type='text'>A bit of news</title><content type='html'>Things are slowly settling in. Tomorrow, I start a one week contract for the Scientific Police of Lyon, something like CSI. They're a bunch of forensic experts that investigate crimes. I wonder if there'll be an Horatio like character with über stupid comments and unbelievable poses. Anyway, the school that hired me did the paperwork with the Département du travail, but hasn't heard anything yet. So tomorrow, I'm going to work and I don't have the permit yet... I haven't heard anything, so I've no idea if all is right. I guess I'll find out tomorrow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, the school is interested in keeping me on staff, after evaluation of course. The director of the school seems to like me and he's actually quite nice himself. I can see myself working for them for a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm slowly getting over my culture shock. Maybe it's because I've settled into a nice flat. But right now, I really can't wait to start working on my final paper and get this fucking Msc over and done with. And I actually miss the research and the work itself. I need intellectual stimulation. But with the move and the painting and all, I haven't had time to give it much thought. Before I start panicking again, I want to dive into it and send something over to my supervisors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's it for now.

French Flair... No! French pessimism</title><content type='html'>When I was living in Mtl, all my friends that are originally from France warned me. It was something I couldn't really understand, because I'd been to France so many times before. I can't even recall how many times I've come to France in the 90s. When I was here around 1994, I remember mentioning to my friends Thierry and Sandrine that I felt there was an aura of pessimism in France. I thought French people were a bit sad and melancholic. As if they'd given up on so many things already. After going through wars and how many republics - which is it now, the 5th? - and so many unions movements, colonizations and so on, it's almost like they've never achieved whatever they set for themselves and were left to accept things the way they are. When I said that to Thierry and Sandrine, they were deeply offended, and they denied all of it with every fiber of their beings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd forgotten about that pessimism. Because T &amp; S had so strongly denied it, I thought they must have been right. After all, they were French. Not me. But my friends in Mtl had warned me. They said: "whatever you ask for and whenever you ask something, there's only one answer... and it's NO!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After going through an apartment search that left me speechless at times, I now understand what they mean. The bureaucracy is so unbelievably complicated that people get discouraged. I called the Direction du travail to get informations about getting a work permit. I hadn't finished my first sentence, that the lady on the phone was already saying no to my question. She said: Ah non non, c'est pas possible. But I hadn't finished and when I did, it turned out I could get a permit. So the outcome is that next week, if all goes well, I will be teaching (for one week only) to the Police scientifique de Lyon (their own version of CSI). I don't have the permit yet, but it wasn't THAT complicated. Just a crazy amount of paperwork. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;François and I went to the hardware store on Saturday. We needed paint supply to cover up the ugly salmon-pink that was on every inch of our new flat. I had an idea for our front door. I wanted to paint it olive green with a mat black frame. I found a gallon of black paint but I thought it was a bit pricey. I asked the clerk if there were any other brands that were cheaper. Answer: NO! It came faster than a teenage boy. I turned around, ready to give up on my painting enterprise but less than a foot away, I came across the same colour (mat black) and it was 7euros cheaper. I mean, 7 euros is 10$. The guy didn't even try to think about it for a second. This is just an example but this attitude is pretty much spread all over the city. I suspect it's all over the country. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friends had warned me but I couldn't entirely grasp what they meant. I might be naive, but I think that things are not impossible. The way the administration is set up in this country is made to discourage people. I have never seen anything like it. It's like a third world country. François needed to get a new medicare card because he's no longer a student. The amount of paperwork it required was absolutely ridiculous. And the darn card doesn't even cover much. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy to be here. Once I get over my culture shock (a bigger culture shock than I had in Taiwan) I know I'll feel comfortable. We found a really great place, we painted every square inch of it, bought Ikea furniture and many things at second hand shops. When I lean out of my window and look left, I see the Rhône. It's got high ceilings, wooden floors and a beautiful black fireplace. It's a typical old French apartment. When I walk out of it, I'm less than 25 seconds away from the river, a couple of laid back coffee shops, 2 different tram stops, 2 university campuses with libraries and most of our friends live in the neighborhood. Once I get my papers sorted out, I can find a job super fast. I already have too many private students as it is. I have schools calling me and offering jobs. So I know I'll be happy, I just need to get used to the way of life and the way things work around here.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8303690657271235540-146774787146932348?l=antiherointernational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/feeds/146774787146932348/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8303690657271235540&amp;postID=146774787146932348' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/146774787146932348'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/146774787146932348'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/2007/10/oh-la-la-french-flair-no-french.html' title='Oh la la!

Aujourd'hui, quoiqu'il reste encore des endroits abordables, il est difficile de trouver un logement à des prix normaux. C'est un peu le Plateau Mont-Royal lyonnais. Certes, les pentes sont charmantes, mais mal desservi par le transport en commun puisqu'il n'y a que deux arrêts de métro et pas de tram. Il est pratiquement impossible de trouver un endroit pour garer une voiture, ce qui est déjà une tâche difficile dans Lyon en général. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorsque je suis passé dimanche, il y avait un bazar pour une cause quelconque. Les rues étaient bondés de gens, les boutiques avaient ouvert leurs portes et sortis un tas de trucs. Sans aucun doute, ce qui est le plus magnifique sur les pentes, c'est les nombreux escaliers et passages, les rues en pentes qui tournent et les immeubles aux couleurs chaudes. Y habité aurait été une expérience esthétique enivrante pour quelques temps, mais probablement assez chiantes à la longue, pour nous qui n'y connaissons personne. La Croix Rousse est comme une petite ville en bordure de Lyon. Les pentes font parties de Lyon, mais la vie y est complètement isolée. Les gens qui vivent sur la Croix Rousse se disent d'abord croix-roussien avant d'être lyonnais. L'auteur et cinéaste Virginie Despentes y a vécu et c'est de là que vient son nom d'artiste. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/RuVH4-ykf6I/AAAAAAAAABE/P651TBbqKhg/s1600-h/Chats.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/RuVH4-ykf6I/AAAAAAAAABE/P651TBbqKhg/s320/Chats.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108568396575047586" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il y a une horde de chats errants qui sont nourris par une très gentille dame. Elle vient deux fois par jour nourrir les félins sauvages grâce à des dons fait par les gens de la communauté.

We chatted about the weather, the USA, Canada, how to find a flat in Lyon, where to eat good vegetarian food, but very little about... the job itself. Basically, when you have working papers in France, it's very easy to find a job teaching English. It's easy and it pays decently. So the next step is: getting the paperwork done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll keep you posted on that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another front, I just chatted with my friend Stellaaaaa from Taiwan. One person I can honestly say I had a nice time with. I miss her company and I do miss Taiwan in some ways. I wish things would have happened differently so that I could have explored more. Sometimes we talk about going back. Especially that our friends Marc and Satomi are finally moving to Japan. But for now, I need to settle in one place for a while before I venture off to another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must find a flat, work hard on my fucking paper so I can put it behind me and surf on life for a while. Oh, and try not to get too fat eating all this delicious French food.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8303690657271235540-3337442340389812029?l=antiherointernational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/feeds/3337442340389812029/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8303690657271235540&amp;postID=3337442340389812029' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/3337442340389812029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/3337442340389812029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/2007/08/can-you-start-now.html' title='Can you start ... now?'/><author><name>Éric Shannon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13455152423201262438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2810/3882/1600/42140/avatar_pt.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303690657271235540.post-8748342934015764882</id><published>2007-08-29T15:52:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-08-29T18:15:38.361+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Job interview</title><content type='html'>Benjamin, François's friend, teaches English and hooked me up with his boss-lady. I wasn't expecting her to call me because I have no legal working papers - and she knows that - but I was taking my afternoon nap (yes, I nap in the pm, just like a bb) and my newly activated mobile rang of his old american phone ring and woke me up. I must have appeared a dash confused but it didn't stop her from asking me to meet up tomorrow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hear from Benjamin that she is desperate for a native to teach at her school. So I'll see tomorrow. I made it clear that I wasn't available full time because of my writing schedule and she seemed OK with that. The school is walking distance from where I'm staying at the moment and this is the area where we're looking for a flat. I'm quite optimistic about it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a funnier note, check this out in today's &lt;a href="http://www.ledevoir.com/2007/08/29/154905.html"&gt;Le Devoir&lt;/a&gt;. It's amazing what people will go through in order to make their beliefs more credible to themselves and the rest of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a couple of pictures of my surroundings:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/RtWaoOykf4I/AAAAAAAAAA0/7HsAAfls9Hc/s1600-h/IMG_2173.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/RtWaoOykf4I/AAAAAAAAAA0/7HsAAfls9Hc/s320/IMG_2173.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104155768649973634" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is François playing with his new toy: nintendo ds lite&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/RtV9Peykf1I/AAAAAAAAAAc/Z18p6iG1m30/s1600-h/IMG_2185.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/RtV9Peykf1I/AAAAAAAAAAc/Z18p6iG1m30/s320/IMG_2185.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104123457611005778" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A view from the Rhône&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/RtV9Qeykf2I/AAAAAAAAAAk/Tn-wcAejmi0/s1600-h/IMG_2188.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/RtV9Qeykf2I/AAAAAAAAAAk/Tn-wcAejmi0/s320/IMG_2188.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104123474790874978" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another one&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/RtV9Q-ykf3I/AAAAAAAAAAs/AVatYzfy7DM/s1600-h/IMG_2189.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/RtV9Q-ykf3I/AAAAAAAAAAs/AVatYzfy7DM/s320/IMG_2189.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104123483380809586" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A small street leading to the Rhône, in La Guillotière, 7e arrondissement, the area we are looking into and hoping to find a reasonably priced flat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not bad, is it?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8303690657271235540-8748342934015764882?l=antiherointernational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/feeds/8748342934015764882/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8303690657271235540&amp;postID=8748342934015764882' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/8748342934015764882'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/8748342934015764882'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/2007/08/job-interview.html' title='Job interview'/><author><name>Éric Shannon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13455152423201262438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2810/3882/1600/42140/avatar_pt.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NqIxszOD2T4/RtWaoOykf4I/AAAAAAAAAA0/7HsAAfls9Hc/s72-c/IMG_2173.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303690657271235540.post-8869646106233383996</id><published>2007-08-24T16:20:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-08-29T16:14:33.020+02:00</updated><title type='text'>La menace de l'anglais en France</title><content type='html'>Aujourd'hui, j'ai bidouiller sur mon nouveau blog, question de le mettre un peu à mon goût. Mais avant, j'ai bidouiller sur mon projet qui avance bien. J'en suis à régurgiter sur le genre masculin avec les concepts de construction et de performance et après une page de pets bien odorants, j'ai dû bifurquer vers une BD. Sinon, mon déca-crème n'allait pas vraiment assurer pour la suite. J'espère pouvoir envoyer une ébauche de projet à mes directrices dès lundi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sinon, ben je poursuis dans ma tête le dialogue avec mon tendre. Suite à un article dans &lt;a href="http://www.ledevoir.com/2007/08/22/154192.html"&gt;Le Devoir&lt;/a&gt;, je m'insurge encore et encore. Toujours cette discussion avec les Français sur la langue. Que l'on soit à Montréal et que les potes Français d'origines nous assoment avec leur chauvinisme et prétention de mieux savoir parler la langue de Momo ou que l'on soit en France et qu'on tente de se défendre de vouloir défendre cette langue, ben on est toujours acculé au mur. Il y a une résistance incroyable à admettre que la langue francaise est en danger par l'impérialisme américain. C'est comme si c'était normal pour eux d'appeler un salon de coiffure: Body Hair by Michel Tousignant ou un nettoyeur à sec: Pressing C'clean. Il ne semble pas y avoir de réaction face à cet affront linguistique. Quand j'amorce une simple tentative de mentionner un tant soit peu que la langue fait partie de la culture qui fait partie de l'identité, on me répond que la culture et l'identité française, ben on s'en tape. Et du même souffle, on se dit anti-américain et fier de ne pas avoir participé à l'invasion de l'Irak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quand j'avance l'argument que les politiques américaines en matières de culture se limitent à un désir de vouloir la commercialiser, ben on me répond que c'est là-bas que ça se passe. Quand je tente de suggérer que leur impérialisme est une forme de guerre de colonisation qui se fait au détriment de l'identité des autres nations, ben on me demande de quoi je parle. Et puis si je mentionne que leur politique étrangère est exactement la même que leur politique d'assimilation des communautés culturelles qui causent un racisme profond à l'intérieur de leur propre pays, ben on me répond qu'on ne voit pas le lien.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personellement, je trouve inadmissible que la langue française soit charcutée au détriment de l'américain. Oui, je parle anglais aussi bien que le français, je l'enseigne et je fais mon blog majoritairement en anglais. Il y a une différence entre occuper un espace virtuel international dans une langue internationale et nommer un commerce, faire de la publicité et trouver chic de labourer une langue en la ponctuant d'angliscisme, qui de plus, on est incapable de prononcer correctement, tout ça dans un espace géographique bien délimité par une langue qui est le français. Et ce qui me choque le plus, c'est qu'il est notoire que les Français parlent un anglais tellement mal prononcé, que c'en est ridicule. La standardisation du français en France a non seulement permis de niveler vers le bas la prononciation, mais en plus, avec les générations qui passent, le niveau est tellement faible qu'il est difficile pour eux d'apprendre à perler une autre langue correctement. Je n'ai d'ailleurs jamais rencontrer un Français qui réussissait à se faire passer pour Québécois, alors que l'inverse est fréquent. Combien d'artistes du Québec se font passer pour des Français: Yves Jacques et Diane Tell sont des noms qui me viennent immédiatement en tête. Pour acheter la paix, j'adopte même l'accent français dans les commerces, comme ça j'ai l'esprit tranquille. Et on ne s'est jamais aperçu que je jouais un jeu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il n'est pas question ici de prétendre que les Québécois parlent mieux que les Français. Il n'est pas question non plus de nier l'évolution de la langue. Ce que je déplore est le manque de vouloir de la part de ceux qui prétendent détenir le droit sur la langue de voir la menace que représente les États-Unis. Leur culture, empruntée (pour ne pas dire volée) à gauche et à droite, s'incrsute lentement dans les moeurs de plusieurs endroits sur la planète et peu de gens semblent s'en inquièter. On crie haut et fort qu'on est contre la guerre en Irak, que les motifs pour lesquels ils ont envahit ce pays étaient au mieux frauduleux, mais quand il s'agit de reconnaître que le divertissement qu'ils nous vendent et qu'on achète volontier est un danger culturel, linguistique et identitaire, ben là, on ferme les yeux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moi, je refuse de fermer les yeux et je défenderai l'intégrité de la langue française jusqu'à ce que je crève!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8303690657271235540-8869646106233383996?l=antiherointernational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.ledevoir.com/2007/08/22/154192.html' title='La menace de l&apos;anglais en France'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/feeds/8869646106233383996/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8303690657271235540&amp;postID=8869646106233383996' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/8869646106233383996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8303690657271235540/posts/default/8869646106233383996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antiherointernational.blogspot.com/2007/08/ce-que-jai-fais-aujourdhui.html' title='La menace de l&apos;anglais en France'/><author><name>Éric Shannon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13455152423201262438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2810/3882/1600/42140/avatar_pt.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303690657271235540.post-8406129744616336742</id><published>2007-08-23T15:33:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-08-23T18:22:24.719+02:00</updated><title type='text'>This is my new blog</title><content type='html'>This is my new blog.
