That pissed me off so much, and I have a HUGE sense of humor. I was "with them" (as far as a commercial) right up until the "joke" hit. It wasn't funny. It was downright disrespectful. And the closing line? WTF!?!
EDIT: I WILL never forget.....ironically, I was on the campus @ Community College in an American Government class when the towers fell......somebody burst through our doors and yelled "We're under attack!!!!".....we looked at him in a daze, partly in disbelief (talking about wars is a part of American Government), partly in shock....I went out into the hall and people were scattering, so much chaos, so much paper flying, people on their cell phones calling their loved one's. I made my way to the central library, still in disbelief and shock, and there, I watched, over and over again, live coverage and replay, of the planes hitting the towers.
