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. :

  1. The Empire State Building would shine with Red Light!
  2. Wallstreet – was never meant to be a street.
  3. Central Park would be a tulip field. How sweet would not the scent of tulips be in the buzzing city!
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. The yellow cabs would of course be orange!
  7. And last but definitely not least, wellknown coffee shop Starbucks would be a … coffee shop.
