The French. Don't know about you all, but when I think "French" I think unutterable romance, being swept away by passion and chivalry and red roses. I could be wrong, but not only is that unlikely by rule ;), my brief bouts with French gentlemen have fully confirmed my beliefs.
And the confirmations just keep coming.
The newest French product on the market is the most recent example. Hot off the factory press, I kid you not, is the break-up handkerchief letter.
This handkerchief has an eloquent, pretty standard break-up speech (with cliche verses like "it's not you, it's me") inscribed in black letters onto its front surface. Taking the form of a break-up letter, this handkerchief can function as the doer of a job that's oh-so-difficult for a star-crossed lover to complete on his or her own when the moment arrives.
A little bit pricey, this hanky costs 21 bucks (www.atypyk.com) - a last chance to make a good impression, I suppose. To have something so impersonal shift the dumpee's position from SO to X may end up being more painful than humorous, despite the increment of humor contained in such an original break-up method.
Nonetheless - the dumpee may leave with a bad taste in his/her mouth, but certainly not with tears on his/her face. All things considered - that's quite considerate of the dumper.
What do you all think about this - is this a good way to break-up with someone, or just a funny joke?

If I were broken up with via generalized-letter-handkerchief, you'd better believe that handkerchief would be filled with dog crap and set aflame at the young man's door the next day.
@Wait_by_Moonlight@xanga - scary woman right there haha! Just kidding!
But uh....definitely just a joke, in no way no hell would I use it for a breakup.
Anyways take care!
@Wait_by_Moonlight@xanga - Amen.
Oh wooow that is ridiculous.
Wow, never would've thought something like this could exist..
Maybe you should actually visit France before you make assumptions.
They're extremely rude, you can't go anywhere without being literally smothered by a cloud of smoke, and their hygiene isn't exactly ''up to snuff.'' The city itself is beautiful, but it really is overshadowed by the way they treat outsiders, especially Americans.
And I definitely don't understand how a ''break up hankerchief'' is considered romantic?? I find it very cowardly and insulting. It may come in handy when the guy needs to wipe the blood off his face after his (ex) girlfriend punches his lights out :)
This is on par with breaking up by text.
It's not a good way to break up with someone. I think it makes the person look heartless.
I can see why it's funny though.
I'd give it to a friend as a joke.
If I recieved this, I would never take it seriously. But if it was serious, I'd be seriously PO'd!
funny joke, not a good way to break up with someone
I WANT ONE! Just for myself, not to give to anyone. Because they strike me as hilarious.
Also, I really want to know what it says.
I'd rather break up with someone via one of those sky-writing planes.
LOL. I so want one.
i think it's kinda stupid
