Making a mint off the 9/11 dead
Take Back the Memorial.org ^ | Tim Sumner

Yesterday, the New York Daily News wrote:

The hucksters who two years ago tried to peddle the fraudulent Freedom Tower Silver Dollar are back with an even more offensive scheme for trading on the memory of 9/11 for money.

They go by the name of the National Collector's Mint of Port Chester, N.Y., and they're marketing a monstrosity called the 2001-2006 World Trade Center Commemorative over the Web and on late-night cable TV. You've got to see it to believe it.

SEE IT AND READ THE REST

I usually flip by these ads to the Girls Gone Wild Uncensored Spring Break ads.

Making a quick buck off the tragedies of others. Second only to suing companies with deep pockets as America's favorite passtime. Shameful ghouls.

I saw this garbage on a TV Ad. Would anyone really buy it? Most likely.

Tasteless and tacky.

Coincidentally, I just finished watching the DVD of "Flight 93".

That was damned hard to watch.

The mind boggles..

Imagine..the moral relativism and excuse-making that goes on in the minds of these people. I hate them.

Pretty disgusting.

More disgusting would be what would be on a Bill Clinton pop up coin.

I've seen this ad too, didn't pay much attention, and hope no one else does either. Just another way to milk money out of people. the American way, isn't it? Like all the hubbub over building a memorial at the WTC site. The most moving, and beautiful memorial I've seen were the simple, expressive twin beams of upward light, but noooooooooooooo! Somebody's gotta make millions.

I was down at the WTC site a few years ago and along one side there were all kinds of tables set up with people selling T-shirts and souvenirs of the site. My son & I couldn't believe it.

The twin beams of light were beautiful and inspiring. But the neighbors made them turn the lights off. They didn't want the annoyance of the light.

Only in NY.

You want UNITED 93, out on DVD in September.

FLIGHT 93 is the cheesy A&E telemovie.

I think Flight 93 is a different movie than United 93. We got Flight 93 and it was a movie from the A&E channel on dvd.
