Ah, the French

Now the latest news is that France has outlawed women going topless, which has been the norm in France for years. You want to know why the change... France has a large Muslim population which has been causing them problems, including rioting, but the Muslim law forbids the woman's body being shown in public.. therefore to pacify them they now have this new law.
Those brave Frenchmen!!!!!!

The only two higher levels in France are Surrender and Collaborate. The rise in the alert level was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively disabling their military.
