French commercial about Spanish sportlers, here Nadal and their way to win...
The French in the end means something like: "Spanish athletes. They don`t win by accident."
Oh, and it's not a commercial. It's a sketch in a popular (well, I don't know if it's really popular ) French humour show called Les Guignols. We had a similar show in Spain some years back, and it was awesome.
Saw it. Yes, it's quite popular, though very one-sided (pro left/socialists) politically.
Going to court ? Be serious, anyone or almost anyone who appear in it would have reasons to go to court. I know Spain has law that allow you to sue people or organisations when you feel your honour is harmed, but that's the whole point of the sketch.
It's not anti-Spanish by the way, they just blow some oil on the fire, like they do about every topic, following Yannick Noah's claim late last year.

Yeah, it was awesome! I enjoyed a lot with that program.
I think it´s ok about Contador, but come on! Not about Nadal or other guys...
They had their time and now it´s ours. They should let us enjoy while it lasts.
I'm not even sure it's against the Spanish, might as well be against Y. Noah, as they're over-exaggerating his claims.
Tonight's sketch was "Many famous Spanish sportsmen decided to sign a petition to support Alberto Contador. Footballers (see a guy with a Roja shirt signing), basketball players (a guy with a Spanish national basket ball team signing), and Rafael Nadal, who brought his own pencil."
Zidane has been bashed a lot for years too, and other popular or successful sportsmen, French or foreign.

I don't think it's much of a big deal. They play with the fact that Nadal is (apparently) not very popular in France, plus the general suspicion over Spanish sportmen since Puerto (a feeling which you can find in many places, not just in France). They are just being irreverent and, as Aqua said, blowing oil to the fire, as these kind of shows usually do.
You're free to find it funny or not (I personally have seen better sketches, but these aren't too bad, I like the Contador one better, tbh), but I don't think it's an attack or something like that as part of the Spanish press is trying to make of it.
Edit: ^ Also that. They might as well be making fun of Noah. Actually, they're most likely making fun of them all. That's their job. Edited by kumazan on 08-02-2012 19:53

You would start even sooner by choosing the path of a baker or a factory worker I am an accountant and start at 6.30
That french comedy show is not my cup of cofee, i prefer another style of humour, british is the best. But it is nothing so offensive, certainly not worse than tabloids.

Its a possible career choice, I've been thinking about, but this 6.30 nonsense has scared me a little
Not bad, typical office job in front of computer, no more hand-counting,but of course not very entertaining and difficult to master, at least i can be on Pcm Daily all day
It depends a lot on company where you work, i am in a good one and i am still learning from the veterans.
And i think you have completly different accounting standarts in North America compared to Czech Republic (i live there now) and maybe you would start the work later It is my choice when i start, this is good for me, because i am home from work at 3p.m. and doing only day shifts.
