Is
this site a joke? I mean its pretty funny but i don't know enough about Americans to tell if they're serious or not. Maybe I have a ridiculous cartoon impression of what they're like since my sister started marrying into all these American families. I dunno maybe a good proportion of Americans are pouring wine down the toilets and saying "we don't want liberty anymore! lets have a police state instead!"

Surely the photoshopped "by sea" and "by air" images are the giveaway!

'my sister started marrying into all these American families'
'these'? Where's she at, southern Utah?

why didnt the French make something as marvellous as the Statue Of Liberty for themselves incidentally? why has no-one else tried to copy it?

Where's she at, southern Utah? no not at the same time; it was consecutively. I thought everyone in America married several times - isn't that why the settlers left England?

s'pose they'd have to translate this into French as well:
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips.
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Please send all your expensive Champange to me. I will see that it is disposed of properly. *Hick*
