U say Tomato & the french say: Motherfucker...

So I've been following this blog "Paris Daily Photo" for about a minute now. ~A 5 yr minute

This guy has a great eye and it's short and sweet.
Like little french visual nuggets ...lol 

Anyway under one of his daily photos, he comments on profanity in different languages,

I thought his comment was interesting. His comment is below the shot.

I apologize to those of you who will feel offended by this, but yes, you read it well : the title of the show by Florence Foresti (a very famous French comedian) featured in this theater is really Mother F%^&@# Of course for us French it does not really mean anything. It's just a word we hear a lot in American movies ;-) so we think it's alright to use it (even to put it up in lights at a theater!). Think about that when you swear in French; for you it's just a word, for us it can be most inappropriate...
