Actually, he can't. He can web-translate and produce a statement that is blatantly incorrect.
I presume La puanteur fran�aise, ils ne se baignent pas is a feeble attempt at saying "the French stink, they do not bathe." Unfortunately, "la puanteur fran�aise" is not The French (noun) stink (verb), but French (adjective) stink (noun).
You want "Les fran�ais puent, ils ne se baignent pas"
Next time you try to be clever, be clever.
And while C'est pourquoi vous �tes un g�nie en France does indeed make sense ("That's why you're a genius in France") I'd like to believe one could do better than that. Interestingly, Rob/google uses the formal vous when addressing an alleged wanker.

Anyone in particular you had in mind, Lover Boy?

Well, I did have LOA in mind. She likes breaking men down to the point where they cry for their mommies.
I was just going to provide the whip, chair, duct tape, clothes extractors, and the camera.

So, Rob has never been to France (hardly difficult since as far as I can tell he's never left the safe haven of the good ol' US of A), probably hasn't even met anyone French, and needs Babelfish to compose simple sentences he can't even tell are wrong.
You know, given his wholesale adoption of the anti-French party line, when not on the web he probably does call them Freedom Fries. . . 8)

All I'm saying is that it has been ages since I've seen gratuitous erotica. I've got to get my jollies somehow, even if it means LOA wearing a dominatrix outfit and whipping a naked, bound, and gagged Omega. Not the perfect solution, but it'll do for the meantime.

"le Tom" est pedantic. "la puanteur fran�aise" est une expression l�gitime. Une expression qui d�crit le niveau �lev� de fran�ais de l'odeur de corps.
Tu moustique.
Il n'importe pas. Il y a de meilleures raisons de d�tester les Fran�ais.

Pish tosh, boy! I scorned the French LONG before it was popular!
