To be fair one time the statue of liberty did attack a rich white guy who was trying to take advantage of a newborn baby while blasting rock and roll.

No that’d be the Soviet Union

Unfortunately I went to college around the turn of the millennium and smoked a lot of pot, so any time I see O.A.R. is playing all my head starts doing is muttering a god awful “Mmmhheeet wuz a kra-zee game of hoc-keey.”
