Outspoken Australian model
She goes a bit overboard but not everything she said was wrong:
"Controversial Sunbury model Cassi Van Den Dungen has called the French "frog eaters" and "snail slurpers" after a trip to Paris turned sour. The 17-year-old resorted to Facebook during the week to slam French people and prestigious model agency IMG, which was working on getting her an exclusive deal during Paris fashion week.
"I'm coming home tomorrow, all these people are f----- in the head, the agency is trying to run me, not the other way round," Van Den Dungen wrote.
She and boyfriend Brad Saul returned home this week, after gaining no modelling work.
The couple also attacked French Asians on the social networking site. "Ohhhh and the Frasians (French Asians) are idiots," Van Den Dungen wrote. Saul replied: "And they can't drive."
Van Den Dungen yesterday admitted she had made a mistake and apologised. "I was having a really bad day and I shouldn't have taken that out on Facebook, I regret that," she told the Sunday Herald Sun.

That the French eat frog's legs and snails has always seemed distasteful to Anglo-Saxons and derogatory comments about Chinese drivers are also widespread. China does have a phenomenal rate of traffic accidents.

Other than the fact that she was clearly having a "hissy fit" for not getting a job, what she said is factual.
To the french;
WORD OF THE DAY
FINGER ( THE), n.
An element of non-verbal communication that is, as far as we can tell, one of the few gestures that needs no translation, no matter where it’s deployed on this blue-green world in the boondocks of the Milky Way Galaxy.
The french resent the "anglo-saxon" world after it assumed dominance following the defeat of Napoleon, and the further humiliation suffered under German attacks when it was the anglo-saxon countries that liberated them.
So is it okay to call them 'cheese eating surrender monkeys'? ;)
Absolutely!
How surprising that this delightful young lady failed to secure any work in Paris...
Who would have guessed, I'm sure she would have been a delight to work with.
Well at least the Frasians drive on the right side of the road. Right side being the left side of course =).
I don't understand why this story is here.

What the hell happened there? I managed to post one comment in the middle of editing it and the final one right after that... Weird.
Who or what are Frasians?
She's 17? Should people really be getting tied in knots at what a 17 year old model says? Are the french upset, or just overly spineless internet people?
I'd hit that!
