I'm sorry the horrific deaths of more than 3000 innocent people "annoys" you. I'm sure they feel bad that their dying in a ball of fire or a building collapsing around them makes you "annoyed."

FTR, Pearl Harbor Day was still celebrated every year when I was a kid. It was still a HUGE deal for decades and commemorated every year for decades. It hasn't been forgotten. But, it's comparing apples and oranges. Pearl Harbor was a Military Installation and Hawaii wasn't even part of the United States when it happened. The Twin Towers and the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania were attacks on innocent civilians and happened ON American soil. Two completely different things. Not to be "compared."

If 9/11 is so "annoying" to you, don't turn the freakin' TV on that day. It's easy to avoid, if you can unplug for 24 hours.

Sorry the deaths of so many was so irritating to you. I'm sure the dead people and their families and friends feel bad about it, too. My guess is they feel a hell of a lot more than "annoyance" about the whole thing. These commemorations mean a lot to those who lost loved ones. If you don't care for this stuff, it's fairly simple to stay away from. One doesn't have to be plugged into technology 24/7.

Makes my point in an other thread about people becoming desensitized to the suffering of other human beings. Sheesh. less

The song's not offensive (I find it really funny) but 'celebrating/commemora ting' 9/11 with it seems a little strange to me. The US was ostensibly attacked that day because of its involvement - that some see as intrusion - in foreign countries' affairs. The Team America song is actually the opposite of patriotic. It satirises not only over-the-top patriotism, but also the very American 'arrogance' that got the country attacked.

I mean, look at some of the lyrics:

McDonalds, FUCK YEAH!
Wal-Mart, FUCK YEAH!
The Gap, FUCK YEAH!
Baseball, FUCK YEAH!
NFL, FUCK, YEAH!
Rock and roll, FUCK YEAH!
The Internet, FUCK YEAH!
Slavery, FUCK YEAH!

So yes, I think it's a funny song and funny movie. But for me, linking "America (Fuck Yeah)" to patriotism on 9/11 is as appropriate as playing Bryan Adams' "Run To You" at a wedding (it's a song about cheating on the girl who loves you with someone who just turns you on) less

Yeah...I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel like every commemoration of that day is just...eh, not a good thing. It just seems really, really wrong to me.

I also disagreed with removing the trade towers from the skyline of every movie, tv show, or commercial ever made. That seemed like a really great way to erase the entire thing from future memory and history books and flies in the face of "we will never forget". less
