Let's Kill All the Belgians: Update!

Belgian media coverage appears to have driven a lot of traffic here (much of it very, very angry), but unfortunately, Lulu has removed the book from its site (when has appeasement ever worked?), so for the moment, nobody can order it. (UPDATE: Lulu has reactivated the book! Now with a great big "SATIRE" tag! Probably a good idea!) And you can check out some of my other writing here--hopefully, that stuff is less likely to provoke an international incident.

For the record, the book is intended as a satire of ignorant American attitudes. But the response did cause me to learn quite a bit about what else Belgium has created. (Like French fries. Who knew? But, I gotta say, from a marketing standpoint, you guys could have done a little better job naming those.)
