"What is not happening is any 'intifada'; France is not burning; I still

it is an intifada.
its ok for France to not adapt to increaing international competition,
the whole place can whither and die. Serves 'em right if they do.
Love and understandiing of the riotous French Muslim youth
is, of course the right way. You should invite
five of them to your house and wine, dine and entertain them
for six months.

CDG is bad enough, but I notice many of the surly employees are of the

no, your lack of purchasing power.

The argument is weak for a lot of reasons among which we can distinguish
these 2 :
- USA is the major supplier of a lot of very poor countries.
- France major supplier is Germany. France exchange balance with Germany
is showing deficit.
IMHO US marketing failure would be a better field of investigation.

Sorry Scott you are a stupid ignorant and once again you haven't missed

I can purchase everything I want on the internet.
I prefer to purchase my CDs in specialized boutiques.
I have the weakness to believe in the human exchanges and that a good

It has been well reported for years, and confirmed by those I know who have
visited France, most notably Paris.

Did they also **** your wife ?

CDG is bad enough, but I notice many of the surly employees are of the
ethnic
groups who are rioting. Maybe they are not so poorly integrated
into French culture as reported!

If you want to take their place.

"Consumer reactions to France are ambivalent, Glasgow said. They view France
as the birthplace of wine, and remember the French paradox pointing to the
health benefits of wine.

But they also think of arrogance, rudeness and conceit, said Iain Douglas,
Gallo vice president of marketing - particularly in the cities of France.
"The French even feel that about Paris," he said."

This wine is named after Lionel's bicycle. I am sure it will be a hit here.

She didn't say anything about that so I think that the answer is no.
I'm also hoping that she will have the time to purchase the list of CDs
that I've given her.



I am surprised you can't get most every cd in France. Maybe some etnic
American music like Norteno would be difficult.
Anyway, I have had cd's shipped by www.Amazon.com shipped
direct to Europe.

I can purchase everything I want on the internet.
I prefer to purchase my CDs in specialized boutiques.
I have the weakness to believe in the human exchanges and that a good
salesperson could be also a very good advisor. I'm ready and happy to pay
for that.
New York is reputed for its Jazz boutiques. One hour spent to share a
passion is never wasted time.


Ok, I can understaand that, but so much for your interaction with
salespeople. You gave your wife a list.You aren't even here.

no, I do not want to have to riot.

The Sirah is good. But after enjoying the Bicyclette, the Red Truck and
the Ca'del Solo Big House Red, I now reject cute 'red' names, starting
with the Red Beret.

No that's mean that we have cleverly find better sources. :-)

Is that why French people are drinking more Ca. wine?

You left out one ca.

It makes me a little bit uncomfortable to be obliged to explain you how
works that kind of interaction.
Sorry I give up.

Very good example of marketing cleverness.

Not for salespeople.

Fortunately, Gallo is not uniformly clever. The first wine on this list
is a lesser Gallo marketing effort:

The back label makes fun of people who talk like tasting notes. Too bad
those are the people who are going to sell their product.

there is a commercial running in NL, something like this:

{central theme to these series of commercials for an insurance company:
whatever the trouble, insured with us, your solution is just a call away}

guy arrives at his car trunk, with a loaded shopping cart, in a parking
garage
he let's go of it momentarily, it starts rolling down a slope, camera
dramatically following the cart .. on collision course with a nice
white car, with an oldster completely unaware of the incoming cart

just in time, he sees it coming, backs up his car quite speedily,
the camera follows the cart harmlessly crashing into a wall.. pffeww

then a zoom in on the backed up car -
smashed right into the front of a ferrari

....even Apeldoorn bellen :-)

what's quite clever, there is now a competition where one can
send in a scenario to the agency producing these commercials
from which new commercials are made :-) cool.
