There is a replica statue, called the "Liberty Statue", in Leicester (England) near where I live.

France gave the US the Statue of Liberty

Confused Americans...

So stupid that the statue of liberty came to life just to facepalm.
blindtrucker
Probably thinks the Statue of Liberty is in New York too.
FirstTheyMeetThenTheyFightAndFinallyTheyFuck
So many things wrong here...
StarfighterKarateBastard
Nah, the Eiffel Tower is in Europe. BOOM! Oh yeah, I went there!
samsonguy920
You aren't wrong.
FlumboMcglumbo
The statue of liberty was a gift from the French and the designer designed the Eiffel tower.. good one there...

ASadPepe
As a Brit we don't need these statues anyway! You couldn't dump all the teabags America!

So... Kansas people are still in dire straights.

Well, they think "Oz" is a magical land on the other side of the rainbow, where everything is topsy-turvy and too dangerous to be real.

Does anyone have the second picture by itself? I want to use it for a comment or reply

My latin teacher pointed out that only prostitutes wear togas. We asked if the French knew that when we got her and she said yes.
Squossifrage
Your Latin teacher was full of shit. The Statue of Liberty is wearing a stola, not a toga.
newimgurscreenname
Ahh thanks. Thus the reason I said it came from her. I figured someone might know more!
DukeDarkwood
1) They probably got the wrong term, because the toga was indeed widely worn for most "civic business" - not sure if that's the right term,
DukeDarkwood
2) but basically the expected role free Roman men took in local government-ish affairs. (While not a full by-the-people democracy in the

3) vein of Athens, Romans were still involved in most civic affairs as part of the obligation of being a Roman Citizen.) In which the toga

and the jokes on them, she'll last far longer.

Four more years!
FreakOnDrugs
Holy, shit I just realized she's only 40 years younger than the statue of liberty
YorkshirePudding1411
Pretty sure they mean Blackpool Tower
GifAnon
American here, don't give him an out.
BloodyBaboon
Plus Big Ben is the "go to" national landmark. Highly doubt 90% of us Americans know of Blackpool tower.
hippyneil
Which, itself, was based on the Eiffel Tower. Also, SoL is French!
SupposeThiswillhavetodo
Yay +1 for Blackpool!
Gastroboi
Pretty sure they don't lol
Gastroboi
Yup missed it by a long shot. What's the reference?
TripleKitten
Whoosh
Scaros
Didnt get the joke did ya?
notme222
Sounds dumb now. But when we soon learn that the UK has a plan to capture the Eiffel Tower for themselves, THEN who'll be laughing?
eroso
I heard that after Brexit they've restarted to train those feared longbow men once again.. French should be very affraid.
squishybaker
the UK as the BT tower, it doesn't need the eiffel tower.

This gif has filled a void in my soul that I previously did not realize even existed.
TheUserImgurDeserves
What is the from?
LoopStricken
An acid trip.
TheMightyKung
Yeah but we have Big Ben. And Big Ben is pretty damn special.
aluskn
Sadly we also built the millennium dome.. which is a bit shite.
DemonicMoo
But most people haven't seen Big Ben, and call the Elizabeth Tower Big Ben.
CaptainBash
France gave the US the Statue of Liberty
theseaword
I learnt that from Drunk History
imbatron
I thought it was a gift from one masonic lodge to another.
Grenther
and they have one themselves

National treasure 2
PianoMan2112
Like in Contact.
IWantToUseAHyphenInMyName
There is also one in Japan, actually.
PianoMan2112
There's one in Las Vegas, too, but I don't think they count. (Checked Wikipedia to confirm 3 weren't built; there are HUNDREDS of replicas)
TheBlackVan
True. But that doesn't diminish the fact that it's now ours.
OrbitalTeapot
It does a little bit... It's like an artist painting you a picture and then you brag about how awesome YOUR painting is.
ekzeko
Kinda rough that both of them were designed by the same french guy.
Niobe68
in fact is Bartholdi who design the Lady https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Auguste_Bartholdi
Nikolaj
I was gonna say this.
ekzeko
You don't deserve this hate. You're eclectic knowledge of late 19th architecture matters. And you matter.
Deviantai
and if i remember correctly there is a smaller version in France, also the lady was a gift
ekzeko
There's 2, 1 in paris, 1 in colmar where eiffel was from... or bartholdi. Anyway it's on the WikiPed
Spazmatic666
Jesus Christ. Thank you to the person who actually knows that.
johnxbear
You get the joke.
KleptoGizmo
That's not the joke

that's not the only joke tho

Why is it rough?
ekzeko
The guy assumed the Statue of liberty was in britains first of all, and on top of that didn't realise it's the same architect.
NoDangerOnTheRoof
Must have been a tall order...
greasemeuplunchladydoris
You. I like you.
themobileappisbroken
Google tells me it was built by gustave Eiffel, but designed by someone else. Which I never would have known without your comment. So thanks
GuardsmanMiku
I mean I'd be pretty impressed if Eiffel built the tower all by himself
ekzeko
The sculpture was designed by another artist, the armature designed by Eiffel.
happybunny88
You guys need to improve your general knowledge
iSoulend
yep, by Auguste Bartholdi, I know 'cause i pass by his statue in colmar every so often
themobileappisbroken
And now I know what an armature is. So thanks again.
asdfertjryjre
1.the rotating coil or coils of a dynamo or electric motor. 2.metal framework on which a sculpture is molded with clay or similar material.
skipweasel
Not a bad effort - for an armature.

I hate you for making me come back to upvote this.
