Amazon too unFrench

France really is weird…or is it that everyone else is weird and France is normal? No…France is a place all to itself.

Check out this link: Amazon Ordered to End Free Delivery on Books in France 

Apparently Amazon was too unFrench so the French government had to step in. It is now illegal for Amazon.com (Amazon.fr) to provide free shipping. Apparently Amazon.com was offering too good of prices for France. They were competing a little bit too much and this had to be stopped. So the government had to kick Amazon in the shin to give the others a leg up. Allez France! The world is changing and it’s ok for companies to compete without the governments help.

Maybe there’s more to it, but this is crazy.

    Which is why I was tempted to buy this shirt for you at urban outfitters this past weekend….

    I had to take the link off PC…my grandma reads this blog…but thanks for the thoughts…and not spending 30 dollars on a shirt!

    But I couldn’t validate purchasing a $30 t shirt
