Spies in Paris report that, in a stunning display of ignorance, the Hermes store in the City of Light refused entry to Oprah Winfrey.

"Oprah didn't have her hair done," says a source. "When she tried the door, they refused her entry because they have been 'having a problem with North Africans' lately' and obviously had no clue who she was." A rep for Winfrey says: "Oprah is in Paris," but declined further comment. Hermes didn't return calls.

Here is my standard answer for something like this.... fuck the French.

Fuck the French???

Yes, because in the U.S., African Americans are never denied entry anywhere.

Get off your fucking high horse.

True, the French are jerks to every one regardless of race, religion, sex, or national origin. Ok, they are worse to Americans, but otherwise . . .

Wow. Umm, I think this took the wrong turn ... need we really give an explanation as to why the French are not held in high regard these days?
