Probably a unilingual, who has never heard of Napoleon.

Ah, Napoleon. Famous for his exploits in Russia if memory serves.

@2 - And Belgium, Chris.... don't forget Belgium.

Of course, he wasn't actually French. He was Corsican. Which is a bit like saying someone's American when they're from Puerto Rico, or British when they're from the Faulklands.

@Volker. That guy is hilarious, but i don't think the movie was about the French Military; just some dude that wanted to dance... and dance he did! His last name in the movie was Dynamite but his real name is Jon Heder.

@Nathan - ITYM Falklands (there is no U), or as they are more correctly known, the Malvinas.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the resulting page is merely spoofing the Google result page so it appears Google cannot find any results and suggests the alternate term "French Military Defeats". The actual page you are sitting on at this point is http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/text/victories.html, and if you click on the search button again, you get to another page on that site. If you can't see the site you can see a screenshot of it here: http://frenchmilitaryvictories.ytmnd.com/

Always funny. Though this google bomb has been around for several years just like if you searched for "miserable failure" in the past:

Weren't the french allies of those 13 british colonies in the colder parts of Americas atlantic coast who became independant in 1776?

12. Chris Linfoot12/03/2008 10:02:04

Calm down, calm down.

It's just a bit of fun and I know it's old, but it tickles me for some reason.

And it could of course work for any number of other countries.

"French military victories"? Seriously mate, that's been around since 2003 if not earlier.

Yes yes. I know it's old. I just stumbled across it again and I like it.
