Co. Pulls Toys Depicting 9-11 Attack




Wow! That's one big plane!


"Small toys showing an airplane flying into the World Trade Center were packed inside more than 14,000 bags of candy and sent to small groceries around the country before being recalled."

What? They're being recalled . . . ? Weird. I was convinced "bad taste" was an obsolete concept -- not to mention piss-poor marketing.

Want proof? I'll give you proof . . .




Made in the USA out of 100% pure depleted uranium.


I remember a trip I took to Galveston a few years ago. The local vacationing industry had placed a giant inflatable simulacrum of the Titanic (caught in the act of sinking) out in the ocean and throngs of kids were merrily climbing up a ladder to slide down the fatally canted deck.

This was just after 9-11-01, and I remarked to my girlfriend (yes, I had a girlfriend) that it was only a matter of time until Disney wielded its magic to transform two jets slamming into the World Trade Center into an amusement park ride.

Actually, I still haven't quite given up on Disney-Auschwitz.
