10. And don't forget the French wine dumping

When France decided not to sign on to GWB's Iraq mistake, patriots got mad and along with renaming French Fries, Freedom Fries, a lot of them went to their local liquor store, bought French wine then dumped it in the street, which is pretty much the opposite of a boycott.

Speaking of which...

I saw a FB post the other day about a guy who was aghast that Toys R Us sells Ouija Boards so he bought them all, dumped them in the parking lot, got the manager to come out, and destroyed them in front of him to show what a good Christian he is. Comments were running about 1 to 4 of, "Yay, God loves you!" to "Dude, you just bought a bunch of cheap cardboard crap that they're just going to restock." sprinkled with a bit of, "Why don't you join us in the 21st century? It's nice here."
