Sickening September 11 Profiteering

[northzax]

The national collectors mint Evil Profiteering Bastards has formally announced the sale of their new "Freedom Tower Silver Dollar" made from silver recovered from the collapsed World Trade Center. Can you get any more disgusting?





Only $19.95 (plus s+h) each!!!

1. Now, now. Grave robbing is an ancient tradition.

Among motherfuckers.

[patrice]

2. The money changers are in the temple.

Have you seen the fish signs in ads in the yellow phone book?

They're everywhere. This is their war.

[TOhioLiberal]

3. That's just sick...

...probably a repuke company.

4. I saw this the other day on TV

I was just speechless. Why don't they bring out keychains made from the bones of unidentified corpses from the WTC?

[northzax]

5. hey, that's not a bad idea!

want to go 50/50? we could package it as "always keeping a little bit of the heroism of Sept. 11 close to you." Tie tacks would get it closer to the heart, maybe that would work. We'd paint American Flags on them and then the Freepers would be obligated to buy them.

6. Lewis Black talked about this on TDS last night

He really looked honestly disgusted.

7. Just exactly what would you do with this piece of shit?

Put it in a drawer and forget about it? It will never be worth the $20 you paid for it, so it isn't a good "investment" either. Furthermore, it isn't even a real coin, so you couldn't even spend it for the "dollar" value.

[northzax]

11. excuse me, this is legal tender

in the Northern Mariana Islands. As for collectible value, just because this page on eBay lists 85 'collectible' coins that are only worth 10 of the value paid for them doesn't mean that this one won't go up. It will, it will, I tell you, better buy the maximum of 5, or you'll regret it later!

[The_Casual_Observer]

17. I'll stick with the toilet paper that looks like money

"It might not be legal...but it's tender!"

[Beer Snob-50]

8. This is no worse than the worms who sold

9/11 trinkets around ground zero in the year after 9/11 (and are still probably doing so).

[Lavender Brown]

10. They are.

I still see people with "Ground Zero" baseball caps and shirts. :mad:

[Bunny]

9. That's beyond sickening. Farking ghouls.

It's amazing what some people will do.

I've posted this here before, but I'll say it again: The caretakers for the Flight 93 memorial in Somerset PA had to prohibit any solicitaion at the crash site. It seems that about six months after September 11, a local church set up a hoagie sale at the site of the temporary memorial, located at the crash site. Absolutely incredible.

[Southpaw Bookworm]

13. A hoagie sale?!

How very Pennsyltucky . . .

:eyes:

[Bunny]

14. Pennsyltucky, indeed!

And it was done by a CHURCH, of all things! :eyes:

[redqueen]

12. Greed knows no bounds

I feel bad for people that will buy this.

[truthspeaker]

15. I don't feel bad for people who will buy these.

They're pathetic idiots who deserve to lose their money.

[Squeegee]

16. Made from silver recovered

... from tooth fillings of victims found in the wreckage of the World Trade Center! Order now to get a piece of history! Only $19.55.
