On July 4, the Statue of Liberty’s crown will reopen to the general public for the first time since 2001 in an effort to boost New York’s tourism industry. But there’s a catch: only 30 people at a time will be allowed. These lucky thirty will be chosen according to some sort of lottery system.


Why only 30? According to Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, the limited number is due to security reasons. But as for the lottery, he assures the Gothamist that, "We're going to do it in a fair way. Everybody will have a chance to get up to the crown."

But before the general public has a chance to hang atop Lady Libery’s tiara, the Today Show gang Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira, Al Roker and that smarmy Ann Curry got a sneak preview. You can see it in this ridiculous MSNBC video here
