From hotdogs to herring: Taking back New Amsterdam
Gawker reports that ‘Brave Activists Fight To Take Back New Amsterdam’
The group Give us back New York. have embarked on a mission to revert the control over New York to its original colonizer: The Netherlands. :
- The Empire State Building would shine with Red Light!
- Wallstreet – was never meant to be a street.
- Central Park would be a tulip field. How sweet would not the scent of tulips be in the buzzing city!
- Times Square, now reachable by boat and filled with authentic Amsterdam canal water, nutrified by stoned British tourists since decades – how sweet would not the scent… eh, nevermind.
- The Statue of Liberty would get rid of that silly torch and crown and get herself a tulip and a traditional Dutch dress. Any similarities to that American robe-and-pointy-hat thing are strictly unintended. We wore it first!
- The yellow cabs would of course be orange!
- And last but definitely not least, wellknown coffee shop Starbucks would be a … coffee shop.
