Tonight on MSNBC' s Countdown with Keith Olbermann (a news show in the US) the caption to a picture for a French McDonalds opening somewhere here was none other than "Zoot Allures". I was so happy to see the caption I never really paid attention to where exactly the French McDonalds is. And I don't care  ;).<br>(it was spelled something like "Zut Alores" but it was definately FZ related)<br><br><br>
