i'm not canadian, so i just don't get it...

I don't have to be Canadian to know that it's not funny. Why would anyone think that's funny???

[Andrew_Pakula]

I do get it but it's not funny.....

im not canadian and i find it completely disgutsing. i dont understand why people would have a pic of that to sell something like a drink or whatever it is.

If someone wants me to, I WILL close this topic. I will leave it open for general discussion. But if anyone would like me to close this, please let me know. I find it rude and crude. Some people should shoot themselves. I know that sounds bad, but this is a tragedy not to be made fun of.

[voltaire]

I say close it so as to spare the people like me who actually expected to see something even remotely funny.

I'm in the US and I think its funny, slightly ironic honestly. We're coming up on the one year anniversary and I understand some people are still pissed. But some companies are doing the same thing to promote their product. Everyone is finding a way to make 9-11 marketable.

Might as well close this one. It's a pointless topic to discuss. Even as a Canadian that picture is in bad taste and inappropiate. I do get what they are trying to make fun of but the joke I think is unacceptable given the horrible event.

[MazdaGirl]

I personally say close it, I find it extremely rude and offensive.

[Mean_Machine]

i just wanna clarify for the americans that thats not actually a labatts advertisement its just someones sick idea of a joke

[aqua93]

pretty sick, way to give canadians (and labatts for that matter) a bad name. It's what we call black humour...someones way of dealing with bad stuff...my opinion? not the right way to deal with bad stuff.

That is EXTREMELY disturbing. I personally cried when i was watching tv and watched the second tower get hit.... Close this topic Barry.

Mabye the person who made that up didnt care about the people jumping from the buildings as that picture was taken. Or the people still inside that were horrified and terrified not knowing what was about to happen. Obviously they dont know how it feels to have to be at home watching as part of your family is missing... If they did they would find it as discusting, heart breaking, and hurtful as I do. Sorry but that is inappropriate.
