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.

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.

I think that the raw foundations where those buildings stood is the most fitting memorial. Put a fence up close by so people can leave memorials like they do in Oklahoma City, and leave it alone! Why try to make something that awful "beautiful". It loses it's meaning and memories.
