Petty Americans and Criminal French
Oh, those pesky French. Some humorless Americans (and lawmakers) rename French Fries to Freedom Fries and the French get all in a tizzy. Their response though is downright criminal: burn a replica Statue of Liberty and crack a 9/11 memorial plaque in France. Oh, and vandals have ransacked McDonald's restaurants in Paris and Strasbourg, targeting the fast food chain as a symbol of American influence.
