A Gallery of TERRIBLE, AWFUL 9/11 Art (you gotta see this!)
From Wonkette:

http://wonkette.com/politics/dept%27-of-some-things-we-would-actually-like-to-forget/a-childrens-treasury-of-terrible-911-art-298747.php

On this solemn day a half-dozen years ago, nearly 3,000 people were horribly killed so that Rudy Giuliani could earn a hundred million dollars and run for president of 9/11 and the most corrupt administration in American History could wage endless war around the world that has killed some 700,000 people while finally making energy and defense stocks the solid dividend payers favored by long-term investors. Also, “September the Eleventh” has inspired the most insipid, maudlin kitsch in the history of an already very kitschy nation, along with some truly stomach-turning old-fashioned American Huckersterism.



Next, if you thought passenger jets could be terrifying weapons, you’ll truly be terrified by the giant winged baby monster:



Here's the commemorative musical 9/11 Bin Laden lighter!

2. I always liked this one

I wish I could post the picture. Maybe others would find it kitschy, but it expresses my feelings of sorrow from that day.

4. I guess this one wouldn't be welcomed there.
My first real photoshop attempt. Mine has a sense of purpose and reality. Yeah, of course people died. But there's more to it than that.

9. oh man - those are incredibly bad

the guy at the bottom with the tattoo - ok maybe he's a firefighter and needed to do that (wonder how he feels now about it)

but the rest of that stuff is sooooooo crappy. really trivializes the day

19. The tattoo seems to be a genuine expression of grief from
a firefighter, perhaps one who was there and lost comrades. I will not condemn or laugh at it.

7. Mixed feelings...
the Jesus thing is sort of funny but I still find it hard to laugh about this (or any other violence).

8. The bin Laden light plays "Fur Elise"? I'd only buy that if it played Sousa.
Also, instead of the twin towers lighting up, I think it should have Osama's lights glowing all devil-like.
