Seems odd to me to call the behavior of Europeans who refuse to buy Coke adolescent without mentioning that there are, after all, equally adolescent Americans refusing to buy French wine. Or sell computers to Canadians.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Some people join protests because they feel passionately about an issue and have a burning need to do something. Some people join to get out of class.

Yes, and the crackpots always get the TV coverage. Always.

Hello! I must be going.
I don't know, are people actually doing that no-wine and "freedom fries" thing or just saying they will? I guess it's too early to quantify anything definite.

The *House of Representatives* cafeteria now serves Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast. Air Force One serves Freedom Toast.
This is not a joke.

Hello! I must be going.
Oh. I thought it was all tongue-in-cheek. I must live with a very open-minded bunch of people, because half of us ordered French toast. OK, so somebody ordered "freedom toast" and we all just laughed, as did she.
