Okay, yeah, the toy is in bad taste. Really bad taste. But I REALLY want one.
All we need now is a Rider Truck next to that building in Oklahoma City toy
Dear lord. Its so wrong… and I want one. Does that make me a bad person?
Why are they so sure that it depicts the attacks? It just shows two differently-styled buildings that serve as a hinge for a toy plane. They don’t even look like the Twin Towers. As for the product number, they’re probably just reading into it.
That plane looks alot like the Gaw carrier thingy from Mobile Suit Gundam.
They’re being recalled…so naturally, they’re collector’s items.
That’s why.
I want a toy building, that slighly resembles the white-house, and comes with burn-down action! =D
But that’s pretty silly, so your toys are making jokes at your country, whatever, they’re toys.
:kissy:
IT’S A GUNDAM!!!11111elevenses
[Yar head a splode]
<filler space>
I saw that on TV today, I friggin want one so bad, the plan spirals! spins the plane Weeeee!
You COULD be right. But then, I’d bet you’re wrong. But then, I’d prefer my own explaination. Dunno who quoted it, and it’s paraphrased.
“Never attribute to malice what can be adaquately explained by stupidity.”
Arthur C. Clarke said something like that at least once.
<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/subsites/twistedrpg/images/hero/rirse.gif”> Doesn’t look like it that much, but I can easily see why some uptight parent got mad. But it doen’t hold a candle to this bad taste ad from German Subway.

Arthur C. Clarke’s best quote was and always will be : “My god, it’s full of drugs”
that is cool
It’s a bit too much to expect that, in addition to the toy depicting a plane about to ram into one of the two towers, that <i>each and every</i> tower/plane toy has the product number 9011, to be a coincidence…
Um, I work at a factory, and have learned a decent amount about manufacturing; the P.N. would be constant for a given model, but I still think it seems suspicious.
Yeah, seriously. For this to be an accident, you’d first need someone unware of the symbolism of an airplane flying between two towers (looking like its colliding into one). That person would also, out of tens of thousands of possible product numbers, have to pick 9011. The possibility really isn’t there.
It’s still a possibiity though…an unlikely one, but still there.
