Deliverance.

OP's dad/cousin/brother/uncle should've told him that Caisse D'Epargne is a French team.

The famous cartoonist R. Crumb (Fritz the Cat) moved to France from California 16 years ago. He lives in the south of France. And they really LIKE him in his little village : ). There's a profile on the Crumbs in todays NY Times.

I am assuming that you dont actually know any french and you just used an onjline translator. Online translators only get the vocabulary correct not the subject verb agreement. "Tu es fou" is a french expression that that means "you are crazy". I am sure you got something else on babbelfish, or what ever you googled it on. Since it is an expression it wont make any sense when you try to literally translate it.

No matter what you really have to say to that in your defense, at the end of the day you're still a idiot.

Okay. It's "je suis d'accord (the "en" isn't really wrong, it's just awkward and not what they would say.)
And, je n'ai jamais vue d'affiche ((the indefinite article, "une" becomes "de" in the negative. "Affiche" means a poster, like a billboard poster--choose a different word that would work, like "commentaire") pire (not "plus pire", that doesn't exist--it's like saying "more worse") que celle-la' (accent grave over the a).

So "Je n'ai jamais vu de commentaire pire que celui-la' "(commentaire is masculine).

You did okay, I've seen worse.
