3. The Americans turned out to be more creative in
making the monuments
Is it a new Statue of Liberty?
Of course - not! It’s just a joke of some
Russian blogger!
In fact the Statue of Liberty symbolizes
freedom and democracy, not coca-cola
and hamburgers. However the
Americans are proud of their fast food
and they even have the monuments to their
legendary fast food!
