Soon the article made its way onto theinternet, and then it rapidly spread around the world, forwarded by email. Itonly became apparent how far the article had spread when the Alabama legislature began receiving hundredsof calls from people protesting the legislation.

塔可自由鐘
Taco Liberty Bell1996: The Taco Bell Corporation announced it had bought the Liberty Bell and was renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. Hundreds of outraged citizens called the National Historic Park in Philadelphia where the bell was housed to express their anger.

The best line of the day came when White House press secretary Mike McCurry was asked about the sale. Thinking on his feet, he responded that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold. It would now be known, he said, as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial。
