1. That's gotta be a hoax.

Right? /shrug

5. That's what I thought when I saw it earlier. I'd be easy enough to fake

A couple of unrelated plastic toys, glue and some crazy, pulicity-starved fool gets her 15mins.

But who knows?

2. I still want one (and don't believe it depicts the attacks)

but who noze

8. I don't think it looks like 9/11, either

but honestly, what WERE they thinking?

16. It's not a 9/11 toy, people are just hypersensitive and suggestible

It's just a plane and two buildings. Before 9/11 no one would think it was in bad taste. They would think it represents a plane flying across a skyline, a piece of naive modernist schlock art. The toy has been around for years. In other versions they have King Kong attached between the two buildings.

Never underestimate the paranois and gullibility of the masses. The media is indispensable in this dumbing down process.

17. ok, good question
