Towering Insensitivity


The Mail has picked up on this ad Mr Eugenides ran with yesterday.

Exploiting the horror of 9/11: American fury at WWF ad showing a hundred planes poised to collide with New York


Tasteless, as Mr E quite rightly concluded. So much so that the WWF are desperately trying to distance themselves from it.

Pah! WWF pussies. Anti-smoking organisations have no such qualms about exploiting 9/11 for their own particular niche of scaremongery. Like this effort from ASH New Zealand in 2008.


Or this, which appeared in an Arab newspaper ... on 11th September 2007.


Tasteless? Not to the swivel-eyed tobacco controllers. For them, disaster is merely a delicious opportunity.
