Dublin: 8 °C

Irish people are celebrating a different kind of Independence Day today...

…and are all making the exact same joke about it.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to all the Americans out there.

We get that you are free and all but we’re not going to let it effect our little jokes about the movie. So now.

Whoops!

Can't believe it's been all those years since Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum saved Earth from the aliens. Happy Independence Day friends.
