I remember visiting Tbilisi in the early 2010s as a volunteer English teacher and being greeted with this stupid sign as we left the airport.

What other out of place, inappropriate, boot-licking or jusr plain dumb American or other Anglo landmarks come to mind for you?

[especially when they replace the much cooler names given by the indigenous/native peoples of the area]

Obvious answer would be the "Torres gemelas" (twin towers) song by Delfín Quishpe, a famous Ecuadorian singer. It's honestly the best piece of unintentional dark humor I've seen. He also has a song called "qué bonito es Israel" (oh how beautiful Israel is) which says nothing about Israel or its people, instead making vague references to the fact that there too are stars and a moon above the Israeli sky.
