Loudly dressed and louder voiced, they're the tourists from hell. Self-centered and sex-obsessed, they rarely miss the chance to insult each other or the locals. And that's why the French lionize them. This septet of risibly dysfunctional characters collectively known as Les Bronzés (the Suntanners) have become Gallic cultural icons. Their egotism and low-brow fixations are still catnip to French comedy fans even though their debut film hit the screens a full 28 years ago.

...have to insult somebody to assert freedom of the press? Even if the Prophet were portrayed in a glorious light, it would still be insulting. Reprinting the cartoons is even more reprehensible. This is pushing moderate Muslims to the fringes and is like pouring alcohol on a wound. It shows there is some serious resentment out there toward Muslims...

...barbie.” You might like to think again. This past weekend saw racially charged riots break out in southern Sydney at a popular surfing spot in North Cronulla, resulting in attacks on police and ambulance workers as well as the destruction of over 100 vehicles. Adding insult to injury, the riots also unveiled Australia’s embarrassing secret: a deep-seated racial intolerance, normally hidden behind a deceptive respect for egalitarian ideals. With one-quarter of all Australians born overseas, the overwhelming prevalent racial prejudice poses a serious threat to national cohesion and unity...
