Statue of Liberty sinks into Lake Mendota

The world-famous Statue of Liberty, which once stood proudly in New York Harbor, now peeks above the ice in frozen Lake Mendota, just off the UW Memorial Student Union. It was brought to Madison, WI by the Pail & Shovel Society to fulfill a campaign pledge, but the ropes broke and the statue plummeted into the lake. Even these sad remnants only re-appear above the surface every ten years or so. It is a sad sight.

I know what you did. You filmed plain ol' Lake Mendota, then when you got to your house, you did some edits and put the statue's head and torch on the Lake Mendota film. SCREW YOU!!!

Sucks to say, but this looks gay as hell in person. it doesn't look too bad from a distance in a low quality video, but it totally disappoints.
