[BlogEntry] New sign too expensive?

Over the weekend I was at a local seafood place picking up dinner, when I noticed on their very large menu board behind the counter that all the meals did, in fact, come with "Freedom Fries." As in, instead of French fries. Remember? Because the French aren't nice to us, or something. I hadn't heard that expression since, what, the day it was suggested and then laughed out of existence?

I figure that the owners of the place had to be pretty zealous in their patriotism to get the sign changed in the first place. It wasn't whited out or hand written, it was a legitimate part of the sign. That's fair.

But the real question is now, six years later when it's little more than a joke too old for even David Letterman to tell, would you keep it up there? Too expensive to change back? Have they forgotten that it's there? Or are they still just that zealous about their patriotism that they refuse to say the word French?
