they were always big on the faulkner thing, i think mostly for the racial overtones the case has, but really they're extreme crap because of everything they've done since 9/11.

they changed all of their signs to now say "freedom fries" (still, even when no one else does it anymore). the last time i did go, i purposefully said "french fries," it was great.

"can i get some fries?"
"you want cheese on that?"
"nah, just french fries"

i mean, what are they going to do, correct me? although, being brown, i had a feeling they might.

anyway, they also had this little sign on the window saying, "this is america, order in english." that's not exactly how it was written, i remember commenting multiple times about how their sign was actually ironically grammatically incorrect.

but i think it was during the 2004 or 2006 elections when the republicans were pushing the immigration topic to win that geno's amped up its hatred of me and other brown people, even though i speak better english (and other languages, ironically italian itself, haha) than anyone at that over-hyped eatery. it went from a little sign on the window to a giant billboardesque thing on the side of the building. they also started selling t shirts and bumper stickers about speaking english.

on edit: i also remember reading somewhere that joe vento contributes to republicans and anti-gay efforts, so i don't want my money going there.

all of this on top of having pretty poor steaks.

i mean i realize it's mostly just a tourist trap at this point, but it's so bad you'd think it was satire. imagine fox news as a physical place, and that's geno's.
