Ummm....

How is calling and expressing displeaure a "Hissy Fit?"

There not complaining in the papers and raising cain. This was in a British paper. They aren't holding press conferences, organizing protests, declaring boycotts, or anything. Just a conversation expressing displeasure.

I think you are mischaracterizing.

This should be a non-story.

An embassy spokeswoman said: "We believe that any likeness of a national government symbol in a commercial advertisement is in extremely poor taste. "

Unless you are selling something in the US. Things like British Pubs and Franco American products have been using national symbols for years.

I love my county, and hate to see it associated with a brothel, but thems the breaks.
