It's something that you can't avoid. You see it at your local store, you even see it on your television informercials. It's a menace that must be stopped. What is it? It's products that put the prefix "Euro" on their name!!!
Why do so many companies get tempted to slap "Euro" in front of their product's name?! What goes through Joe Blow's mind as he sees this. "Well, I don't really need a knife that does 100 things. I can't believe it actually does them all. Oh wait, it's the 'EURO-Blade!' If it's good enough for Europe, it's good enough for me!"
First of all, if it was any good it would have been over here already. There's a reason millions of people have come to North America from Europe, and that reason is because Europe is a festering hellhole. Secondly, well, there is no secondly. The first of all sums it up very well.
Today, I bought a tomato that was called Euro-fresh or something. It wasn't actually from Europe, but that's besides the point, considering that 90% of these supposedly European gadgets we see are made in China.
Another menace that is similar to this is slapping a nationality on a food item, even if it's not a food that's common in the said country. I was walking through the mall with my friend, who is from Germany. We came to an almond roasting kiosk. One of the varities were called "German Roasted Almonds," or something to that effect. He then had a good laugh at how Americans buy anything if the product says German, or European for that matter.
I say we boycott anything that has "euro" in it anywhere! Viva la France! Might I suggest a new Euro-Pen when you go to make your picket signs? It writes in 71 colors and it has a finger that picks your nose, but it doesn't work if you wear deoderant.
