Amazing what people think..Unreal..Oh Mr. Dragonfly..don't fly into my shake!
Sorry if I sound sinical..but people need to move on..Are people that so sensitive these days??
Is it me or does it seem people don't WANT to remember this day? I feel people should remember it and learn from it. Not take any picture that may resemble it and say NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!
I don't know..maybe I just look at life more as a whole and don't have these type of events effect me and live on to the best of my ability and move on.
Well I did not read the whole post before I opened the link. I was sitting at my desk wondering what is so upsetting about this picture. I stared at it for awhile and it made me thirsty. I went and got some coffee and a granola bar. I looked at the picture somemore and decided to read the whole post. I still had to stretch the imagination to make the connection with the add and 9/11.
Wow, thanks for doing the research on this, I wasn't sure if it was really true or not, just thought it would be interesting to see what people thought of it. Maybe people wouldnt associate it with 911 if Starbucks hadnt gotten the bad publicity about charging rescue workers for water.
I always prefered the corner coffee shop over the chain anyway.
