    My school had "freedom" fries.. I forget what happened that the French gov't pissed off the Americans, but that's what we had.

    I think it was around 2004 or so. Something with the war in Iraq I think.

    the French wouldn't let us use their air space to attack Iraq if I remember correctly

    Yeah France refused to go in Irak and didn't let US planes fly over France to go there.
    People also dumped French wine in the streets. :rolleyes:
    Silly to waste expensive wine that you paid yourself for something like that.

    But for some reason nobody thought about giving the the statue of liberty.
    :dunno:

    That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure.

    If I remember correctly it wasn't THAT huge of a deal though, because Turkey was more than willing to let us use theirs.

    In 2008 I was in a McDonalds in Chicago after coming from the airport on a flight from Paris.
    I ordered some french fries, the guy asked me if I was French because of my accent, I said yes and he told me he only had freedom fries for me. :n00b:
    I told him that I would only pay for french fry so he finally gave me my fries and said "your french fries Sir".
