I don't think the author of this thread knows what it means to "get served."

"In France, Candide is considered a national hero, because he often retreats and cannot be found."

Candide "often retreats"? Please explain that one to me. Candide brings it in every comp and film segment he does.

I assume this has something to do with the fact that he's fairly private and doesn't do a lot of interviews. Personally, I like him more for that fact. While I love Tanner Hall, the skier, I could give a fuck about Tanner Hall, the Provo-posse-prop-giving, ankle-brake-overcoming, mircophone-blowjobbing individual.

Candide is known for being softspoken and a bit reclusive and has a history of accidentally missing medal ceremonies. The French military has a history of retreating. Therefore, it's absolutely hilarious to state that Candide often retreats and cannot be found.

If you look at the pictures there is one:

"Charles Gagnier calls this trick an "octo-grab" because it resembles an octopus. We don't have the heart to point out that there's only six arms here."

I don't know why they write the shittiest possible captions for skiing photos...it happened last year too. I can just see these idiots sitting around a table giggling like girls at their amazing wit.

Fair enough. I guess I just don't see what the actual criticism of Candide is here.

Then again, maybe I shouldn't expect journalistic excellence from EXPN.

frogs (candides outfit) kangaroos (olssons flip) and gummie bears (Sammy's diet) and the french part is because they can't stay in wars and they are mocked up to be a bunch of pussies, a stereotype you could say.

meh, everyone disses on everyone nowadays. I mean, hell there are people who stick up for the terrorists...oops, sorry I mean insurgents.

french jokes aside, Candide is amazing. I'd rather have him represent out sport than Tanner when it comes to public speaking.

Making fun of France is funny, but making fun of France for their stance in Iraq is kind of baseless... we're in a big military disaster now and they're not. The point was though, this joke is dumb, that tank joke above was way funnier.
