You should have known better. Americans don't respond well to taunting, especially from a guy named Alain. As it turns out, it was the Americans who did the smashing, both of the world record and your inflated French egos.

Sincerely,
The U.S. of A.

Wow, I always dreamed of going to the olympics and see the real live action, I just wish!
That was rad. I watched it "live" at about 10:45pm on Sunday night, and couldn't settle down afterward for more than an hour. USA! USA!
