Unconfirmed sources report that the French people have demanded that the United States return the Statue Of Liberty. The French are highly pissed off over the re-election of George W. Bush and changes the Bush administration made to the statue during its' recent 'restoration'. The French have dispatched a navel fleet to pick up the statue igniting an international crisis.
The ill feelings that have brought on this crisis did not arise overnight. The French people first started to be upset about The Statue of Liberty when the Bush regime changed the wording on her tablet. The changes where made to reflect new security concerns after the 911 attacks and concerns about immigration.
The original inscription on the tablet read, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."
It now reads "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free unless they are Arabs, Mexicans, Cubans, Haitians, democrats, enemy combatants, French, or any other person who is on Federal Watch List #C7-342."
The United Nations has agreed to help the two parties negotiate a peaceful end to the growing international crisis, but neither party has expressed much interest in talking right now.
