Anyone ever heard of this company before? I hadn't before not too long ago (it's big in K-O). LE COQ SPORTIF!! Do people purposely ignore how gay it is or are they really unaware? Koreans can't be blamed since they don't know any better, but veteran rapper Darryl "DMC" McDaniels should know better. Time to toss away the Addidas for the Coq? Okay Darryl, whatever, you're not gay. Interestingly, the Coq isn't just a shoe company either. The gay French have a long gay long gay long gay Coq history:

"How has Le Coq Sportif come to be used as the sporting emblem of the French?

In Roman times, France was known as Gaul. The Latin word "Gallus" not only meant "a person who lives in Gaul" but also was the word for "rooster". The Romans liked this joke, and over a period of time, this play on words meant that the rooster came to represent the Gauls. So the rooster started as a joke and is an icon that has been used by people for nearly two thousand years!

In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the rooster was used by the Kings of France to represent France, in pictures and on coins. Later on, in 1789, during the French Revolution, this symbol was adopted by the Revolutionary leaders to represent France.

Napoleon introduced the symbol of the eagle to replace the rooster, since he felt it was more "important" and kingly. But the rooster wouldn't die! Later in the nineteenth century it was brought back and used on flags, the uniform and buttons of the National Guard, the great seal of France, the twenty franc gold coin and the gates of the Elysée Palace (the President's Official residence). It also became used on lots of buildings and bridges as a symbol of the Republic." (this is from some other website).

So they can't get enough Coq eh? The Greeks may have invented gayness, but the French, with their gay Coq, have taken gay gayness to an all-time gay high. Gay means happy right?
