millbank Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 A bag of candy shocked a local grandmother and will most likely shock you. The toy inside looks like a plane flying right into the Twin Towers. Now, that toy is off some local store shelves because of our story. It doesn't stop there, though. That grandmother was surprised, again, when she read the numbers imprinted on the toy. (No. 9.0.11) Until Thursday afternoon, the little toys were on sale to kids around Central Florida -- two towers with a jetliner in between that appears to be crashing into one of the buildings. They come in packages along with candy. Company that made them from China says it is not intentional.. Toy
IDBillzFan Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 This is clearly a ploy by the Republican party to keep the events of 9/11 in the news. Seriously, I think it's moments like these that can be summed up with three letters. WTF???
Mike32282 Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 Who the !@#$ would be making toys like this? *shakes head*

It's a silly little plastic toy folks. It doesn't look like airliners Rosening into skyscrapers. I can not believe how pathetically hyper-sensitive people have become in this day and age. What's next? Do we need to change the emergency phone number because people will be offended by "9-1-1"?? Good grief!!

Guest Guest Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 Has anyone been to the World Trade Center area lately. There are street vendors selling souveniers of the former twin towers. I was there last December & found the vendors making a buck off the tragedy sickening.

I was there last December & found the vendors making a buck off the tragedy sickening. I was there in july. Some guy tried to offer me a tee shirt with the WTC with a backdrop of an american flag and an eagle flying in the distance. That shirt was offensive to me, illegal to sell (as per some mandate about selling merchandise on that block), it screamed tractor convention. In all seriousness though, i told the guy that he shouldn't be selling that stuff here, so he left me alone. I don't even think people should bring cameras there. That to me is sick. This toy, upon further review was very much intentional. Can't really judge who made it, or why, but its very much offensive.
Guest Guest Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 Some people have neither conscience nor common sense.
TigerJ Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 "Some people have neither conscience nor common sense." That was me. I had the same problem as Albany.

This one's for you, "you profiting off of death wanna be man". :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: 9779[/snapback] Most stores only know their inventory by the name of it, and the quantity they have of it. They are usually shipped from the distribution centers based on the orders the larger company makes, which is based on the info from the Ad Order the invidual store sends in every Wednesday.

If and when I steal this line, I promise to attribute it to you.
