9/11 trading cards to go on sale for holidays

[optoman]

This is just wrong in so many ways.

Someone needs put a cap into the owner of the Publishing company. How dare they even try to make money off of this.

Oh come on... this is nothing new. Those "Never Forget" bumper stickers, the memorial songs, the mini-flags, the McPatriot Combo Meal at McDonalds, it's all the same. Add this to the list. That is truly the American way -- mourn our national tragedy while trying to turn a buck.

[DeafeningSilence]

I love the very end of it:

"Barham said he also is donating some of the cards to schools for educational purposes. "

Usually people who sell 9/11 memorabilia (sp) donate a portion of the profits to some fund. He isn't even doing that! This guy is gonna be rolling in the money when grandparents and country-folk everywhere buy this POS :disgust:

I'll trade you two Rudi Guliannis for one Starbucks employee who refused to give away water.

"I had no obligation to do that, but I've done that and also had them sign releases, and I'm donating some of the profits to the families," he said.

"Barham said every word on the cards was approved by a family member. "

If the families approved, I have no problem with it.

If there weren't suckers who would buy this crap, he'd lose money on the deal. Who is more depraved....the schmo making the cards, or the schmo buying them?

Barham said every word on the cards was approved by a family member.

Oh, of course:

*ring-ring*

Family member: Hello?

Barham Guy: Hello, Mr. Smith? I'm Bigpenis Barham, publisher of MajorScumbag books. I'm writing a book about the tragedy of 9-11...I understand your wife was killed that day?

Family member: .....*sobs* and my 3 children...they were...wanted to see the Statue of Liberty from the roof of the World Trade Center....*bawls uncontrolably*

Barham Guy: Yeah, whatever...Sir; would you say that your Wife and Children were True American Heroes?

Family member: Oh God!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Yes! They loved America...and they.....

Barham Guy: *Cuts him off* Thanks Sir. *click.....baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa<--dial tone*



And there you have it. "Officially Approved <---Allegedly Confirmed" Trading Cards. I hope he gets Testicular Cancer that spreads to his Prostate and Rectum and has to wear a Colostomy Appliance for the rest of his life.....that would be a good start to punish him for making money off this.
