I hereby call upon all of the canadians of videosift!

Today, we march down and take america back for the commonwealth!

While they're all enjoying their watered down beer and "Am-ur-eh-kin" beef, we shall strike!

The nation will be completely wasted in their celebration, and be seeing double. We can use this to our advantage and have our army look twice as large as it actually is.

Depending on the level of their drunken stupor, we may be able to pretend we have a form of weapon of mass destruction if we all yell "BOOM" Loud enough, and at the same time.

We'll catch them off-guard and take new york first, and write graffiti on the statue of liberty if someone can ask to borrow a boat. (Remember, they're drunk, odds are they won't mind.)

We will then move across the east coast, taking them individually until we get down to texas.. They can somewhat hold their beer down there and have guns, we should probably just leave them the fuck alone.

After we've taken the entire east coast, We'll probably be quite tired and will have lost track of our goal, so I say we just detour to Disneyland and call it a day.

After we're through at disneyland, odds are they'll have taken notice, and the only way out will be to Canoe across the Atlantic, and into our British motherland, who will then hopefully protect us until everything back in north america has cooled down.

Happy 4th, ya bunch of rednecks.

My goodness, three libertarians come out of the woodwork to tell me I'm not allowed to call myself a liberal.
Yes, freedom is about telling other people "you can't have this, it's mine!"


You're allowed to call yourself whatever you want. Choosing to call yourself "liberal" puts you in a pickle though, since the etymology of that word suggests "liberty", something you seem to equate with... what exactly... hoarding resources?

btw, would you say the Statue of Liberty is a "liberal" symbol or a "libertarian" symbol?

I'd like to see that thing vs the statue of liberty in Ghostbusters 2.

It's the new lady liberty. The one that shocks first and takes your huddle masses second.

That's one hot snatch!
It's true - it was Ross' idea.


There's a Statue of Liberty joke in there somewhere. But who in Canada is sleeping with such a massive lady?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I could have photoshopped Air force One with the Statue of Liberty for significantly less.

Why do I feel I've been vindicated with this post?

Andy Warhol started this at an outdoor festival. He painted the Statue of Liberty in a 1/2 hour with alot of splatter. Denny did it quicker at Woodstock. Michael Ostaski has been doing this for 14 years. He does an awesome Santana.

Can someone put this in context for me? Who cares if a store looks shit, the shelves are empty and blah, blah...
Can't you choose not to go there? Am I missing something? Isn't retail just soulless and shit anyway? Isn't this more amusingly bad than some kind of humanitarian crisis?
I mean Jesus, if these are your problems.
"Oh no. There's no snow storms of the statue of liberty on display. And someone has left a Starbucks empty coffee cup on the shelves - I think I'm going to die."
It's not like Zimbabwe where they queue all day for bread only to find that at the end of the day the price has quadrupled and there isn't any left anyway.
It's true that the more people have, the more they expect, but really someone just needs to slap some sense into people sometimes. Appreciate what you do have, or go somewhere else rather than feel the travesty of this despicable mismanagement.

You really have to stand next to a regular wind turbine to realize the scale of the object. To compare, they are generally twice or even three times the height of the statue of Liberty (the one in New York, not the miniature version in Paris!)

This smaller design is like comparing a flashlight with a lighthouse : not the same impact.

Actually, It looks to me Osama wanted to attack symbols of America's wealth and foreign policies, not Americans or any American's values. If he wanted to just kill Americans, he would have targeted stadiums and schools. If he wanted to destroy symbols of America, he would have targeted the statue of Liberty, or the Smithsonian, or Library of Congress. Instead, he went after the money, and the military, and almost the President.

Don't get me wrong, an attack on a part is an attack on the whole, but to say New York is somehow more indicative of "Traditional American Values" than Little Town America because it was attacked by terrorists is kinda silly.

For those of you who feel that the french are ... what ever that stereotype is that the bush era has dumped on them.

The French made the FAMAS, thermite plasma, and they helped us out during the revolutionary war. Where did the statue of liberty come from?

So before you take the stereotype as true take a moment to look at our relationship with France.
