Not very well known is the non-french speaking world, Gaston Lagaffe has turned 50 on 28th of February. The office clerk started working for Spirou Magazine in 1957. 

To celebrate this birthday, Mr Freddy Thielemans, mayor of Bruxelles, who looks like Mr De Mesmaeker, has decided to offer a day of free parameters over his the territory, paying respect to Gaston's battle again these "affreux mange-fric".

I don't want to be perceived as a basic anti-american person, but if the guys they interview on this video are so called "sampling frame" of the average american people, they, and we, have serious problems as they may be totally unable to understand why less and less people like them (or rather the policy conducted by their elected government and what/who is really behind).

 

I wonder how come they have so little knowledge about geography, History and above all, what's going on these days around the world. They still have plenty good news papers such the New-York Times or the Washington Post which are far better than any TV channel and in particular Fox News.

Scary no ?
