Another one of those cases where you have to ask yourself, "how did no one think this was a bad idea at any point during the production of this ad?"

Some dumb-asses at a Walmart in Florida did the same thing with a display for Coke products on sale.

The one The Onion pulled that got Subway in trouble was disturbing but at least it was a joke, and not a way to make money off an atrocity. Gallows humour that takes a shot at the obscenity of capitalism reducing something sacred into that which it can make profit off of, to at least provoke some stress-relieving laughter, is at least somewhat more moral than someone running a business being so clueless as to say "I don't get what the big deal is".

There's gallows humour.
There's being gauche enough to use the image of a tragedy to make money.
Then there's just being a complete and total douche-nozzle and piece of shit as a person.

On the eve on the 15th anniversary of 9/11 attack, police in New York city had to step in on Friday when a group of men took stag party selfies with a sex doll at the Ground Zero Memorial.

According to the Daily Mail, the unidentified men were British, with one source saying three of them work for a Wall Street bank.

In photos taken at the scene, one man carried the inflatable sex toy while his friends posed for photos in front of one the memorials waterfalls until police officers stepped in and asked them to leave the area.

Asked what they were doing, one man believed to be the groom, said ï¿½itï¿½s just a bachelor party,ï¿½ but then answered ï¿½no commentï¿½ when pressed for more information.

Looks like the commerce faculty at a university somewhere managed to churn out several more successful graduates that are fully emotionally developed. There has to be a hell for the utterly worthless that people like this have managed to escape from.

Terrible ad.

Some people just have no respect whatsoever.
